We will pick you up at your hotel in San José or Turrialba. The beginning of our hiking trip to the Irazú Volcano is located about one and half hours from Turrialba and San José near the town of Cartago.

The Irazú Volcano is an active volcano in Costa Rica, situated in the Cordillera Central close to the city of Cartago. Its name is believed to be a corruption of Irazú, which was the name of an indigenous village on the flanks of the volcano. In Costa Rica it is known by the name of "Colossus" due to the catastrophes that it has provoked in the past. Irazú has erupted frequently in historical times-at least 23 times since its first well-recorded eruption in 1723. Its most famous recent eruption began in 1963 and continued until 1965. Its average temperature is 15ºC and with an average precipitation of 3,000 to 4,000 millimeters per year. This is a perfect tour for the adventurous people who would like to experience nature, the regional culture, and the wonderful views of this area.Irazu Volcano

Since the 1963-65 eruption, the volcano has been dormant, although frequent earthquake swarms show that magma is still moving about beneath the volcano. In 1994, a small eruption occurred, caused by heavy rains destabilizing part of the volcano's flank, resulting in rapid decompression of a shallow hydrothermal system.

The volcano's summit has several craters, one of which contains Diego de la Haya, a green crater lake of variable depth. It is the highest active volcano in Costa Rica. The volcano summit also spots a few television transmitters for television stations in San José.

From the top it is claimed to be possible to see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on a clear day; however, such clear days are very rare indeed, and it is typical for the volcano's summit to be covered in cloud for much of the time.

After visiting the volcano you will enjoy a typical Costa Rican lunch, "Casado" at a local restaurant before the end of our trip.
