parco nazionale del Vulcano Irazú

Irazú Volcano National Park, or in Spanish the Parque Nacional Volcán Irazú, is a national park in the Central Conservation Area in Cartago Province, Costa Rica, that encompasses Irazú Volcano as well as the Prusia Forest Reserve, formerly the Ruben Torres Rojas Forest Reserve. It was established on

9 August 1955. It is a popular tourist destination, as it is only about a 24-kilometre (15 mi) drive on paved roads from the city of Cartago and a further 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from the capital of Costa Rica, San José, though the volcano is still active and experienced major eruptions from 1963 to 1965 and as recently as 1977.
