2 309 ha. The highest volcano in the country (3 432 m), the Irazú appears lunar. The last cycle of volcanic activity (1963-1965) completely depleted the vegetation around the five craters now at rest. A lake with the green water water formed at the bottom of one of them. In fine weather, we can see the two oceans of the summit of the volcano. If there are clouds, the trail after the two main craters becomes very impressive, especially when the wind hunts the cloud masses to you.

Precipitation: 2 158 mm.

Average temperature: 7,3 ° C.

Practice: camping (see administration). Hotels, pensions, restaurants and grocery stores along the road. Signposted trail.

Magnifique mais très froid, couvrez-vous. Raton laveur vient vous accueillir
Ne pas aller par temps nuageux vous ne verrez rien
A magnificent site, but if you come exclusively to admire the lagoon and its emerald green unique in the world, do not be surprised! The lagoon is no more, it was swallowed by the main crater volcano, an earthquake opened a fault that disappear in its entrails... So forget photos views all guides and magazines this very special lagoon! But except for that, the site is well worth a visit, it is quite ignored by the towers opérators who prefer Poas Volcano him in their programme, so it has kept all its authenticity and is one more! The landscapes are truly magnificent, lunar, a very special vegetation that adds a style really specific to the park, a rare but very special fauna (I still looking for some species! ) and flora, despite the lunar landscape, which is exceptional. I highly recommend, after the trail, to climb the small road to the top of the entrance and climb to the highest point, it is a paradise... Note that you must be very morning and rather lucky to have a clear sky complètemet and see els 2 oceans, but the layer of clouds on the contrary nothing away with the beauty site... the volcano is adorned with a dress clouds, you will be in the roof of the world. I strongly recommend this site (few departures bus, it should not be flunked!)
