Orosí Volcano, Extinct volcano in Guanacaste National Park, Costa Rica
The Orosí Volcano rises to 1,659 meters above sea level, forming part of the Cordillera de Guanacaste range near the Nicaraguan border.
The volcano's last eruption occurred approximately 3,500 years ago, with disputed records of potential activity in 1844 and 1849.
The Maritza Biological Station at the volcano's base conducts research on aquatic biology in partnership with the Stroud Water Research Center.
Visitors access the volcano through Guanacaste National Park's network of trails, which connect various observation points and natural areas.
The transitional cloud forest surrounding the dormant crater serves as a corridor for animals migrating between Pacific coastal areas and inland highlands.
