The Irazu Volcano (Volcán Irazú) is situated in the Cordillera Central (Central Mountain Range) just a few kilometers from the city of Cartago, within a relatively short and pleasant drive from San Jose.
As you begin the drive up to the breathtaking summit of the volcano, you’ll pass farms of all types; coffee plantations, ferns, strawberries, etc. The trip leads up to a spectacular view of the massive crater which is home to a lagoon with a mystical green hue surrounded by jagged rocks.
It should be mentioned, that on a clear day you can actually see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!
After an exciting tour of the volcano, we’ll make a stop at the historical city of Cartago, Costa Rica’s original capital, where you'll visit the mysterious ruins of the old Parish and take in the beautiful Basilica of our Virgin of Los Angeles (Virgen de los Angeles), Costa Rica’s patron saint, with rich displays of carvings, statues and other art.
