The Irazú Volcano National Park Tour is a great combination of the majestic Irazú Volcano, Colonial Cartago and Orosi  Valley, 1600’s Colonial Costa Rica.

Before the Spanish conquest, the Irazú Volcano was known by the natives as “Istarú” which means “mountain of thunder and quakes”. Now, this dormant Volcano located near Cartago city is called “The Colossus” due to the quantity of disasters it caused in the past. Until now, the Irazú Volcano has a total of 23 eruptions to its credit, the first one was in 1723. Several rivers such as Reventazón, Sarapiquí, Sucio and Toro Amarillo are part of the Volcano surroundings. Turrialba Volacano National Park is only few kilometers away and you can see it once you are at the Top of Irazu Volcano observatory.
