Great overview. I’ve only seen Poas and Irazu so far but I enjoyed both for different reasons

Hi mybeardandmypenguin!
Thanks so much! Poas and Irazu are the only two volcanoes (of the five discussed in our article) that welcome visitors to stand at their craters. The views are incredible! It’s great that you’ve had a chance to see both.
Pura vida! 🙂

Great and thorough review! My mother and I are visiting Costa Rica in late May of this year, but we will be staying in La Fortuna. We are staying for seven days, so five full days and two half days. Do you think it’s possible to visit Arena, Poas, Irazu as well as the Paz Waterfall, Orosi Valley, and Lankester Gardens? Our biggest issue is we can’t find a tour company that will pickup from La Fortuna near the Arenal and go to these destinations.

Hi goddivaldi!
Quick question: Will you be flying into San Jose? If so, I’d recommend giving yourself a day at the start of your trip to tour the Irazu Volcano and the Orosi Valley. If you don’t mind departing from San Jose to Arenal the next day, you can combine that journey so you see the Poas Volcano and the La Paz Waterfall Gardens along the way. This means you’d spend the first day in the San Jose vicinity (touring Irazu and Orosi), spend the second day traveling from San Jose to La Fortuna (touring Poas and La Paz along the way), and then spend the next few days exploring in La Fortuna.
Pura vida! 🙂

Hello, I was that Volcán Rincón de la Vieja is closed due the activity, so it’s imposible to hiking. Do you know something about that?
And the hikking to Turrialba there is any agency that could find the information or guide the hike?Thanks

Hi Katy!
Yes! The trails that lead to the craters at the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano are currently closed. But other trails inside the Rincon de la Vieja National Park are open and worth hiking. As for the Turrialba Volcano, this volcano’s national park keeps closing and opening, closing and opening, due to volcanic activity. It is currently closed to the public.
Pura vida! 🙂
