Volcán Cacho Negro, Dormant volcano in Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa Rica.
Cacho Negro rises 2,150 meters above sea level, featuring a cone shape with deep ravines and a northwestern-facing crater opening.
Geological studies indicate the formation of Cacho Negro began approximately 1.5 million years ago during the Pleistocene period.
Research teams regularly visit the volcano to study the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit its slopes within the protected national park.
Local guides lead expeditions through forest trails to reach the volcano, with access routes becoming more challenging during rainy seasons.
The volcano contains a parasitic cone on its southern flank at 1,915 meters elevation, adding to its geological complexity.
