Volcano Tours in Costa RicaIn Costa Rica almost all mountain ranges are of volcanic origin and therefore vacationers can take with ease tours to areas which feature craters. In province of Cartago, located close to the capital city of San Jose, lies Volcano Irazu which is the highest volcano in Costa Rica with 3,432 meters. It is also one of the most active, with a history of eruptions recorded from 1723, the last one dating back to 1963-1965. Yet, today it's inactive and the crater hosts a small lake.
Poas, located in province of Alajuela, is also one of the most active volcano mountains and features one of the largest active craters in the world! The 2,708-meter high volcano is made up actually by two vast craters that host now lakes. The southern lake, Botos, is cold and clear, while the other one is warm and acidic!
Trips to Volcano Arenal & Volcanic Ranges in Costa RicaVolcano Arenal, located in the northwestern region of Costa Rica, draws every year tens of thousands of vacationers with a constant stream of hot lava flowing down on slopes. Arenal is the only volcano in Costa Rica constantly active and is considered as one of the ten most active volcano mountains in the world!
Located in the southeast region, Turrialba is a large and densely forested volcano. Three well-defined craters lie in the upper section of the mountain, all of them remaining quiet after a series of explosive eruptions in the 19th century.
Rincon de la Vieja, the largest volcano in the northwestern area of the country, is actually a remote volcanic complex in Guanacaste which features at least nine eruptive hols located within a 15-kilometer wide crater!
Miravalles is a relatively young volcano, featuring lava flows on the western and southwestern flanks. The only reported eruption was a small steam explosion in 1946.
