Tortuguero Volcano, Extinct volcano in Limón Province, Costa Rica.
The Tortuguero Volcano rises 119 meters above sea level, featuring one side modified by canal construction in the northeastern Caribbean region.
The volcanic formation contributed to shaping the Caribbean coastline of Costa Rica through geological processes that occurred over millions of years.
The name Tortuguero originates from the abundant sea turtles that nest along the nearby beaches throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors need to arrange transportation by boat or small aircraft to reach the volcano area, as the surrounding rainforest limits ground access.
The volcano stands as part of a protected corridor that extends from Costa Rica to the Indio Maíz Biological Reserve in Nicaragua.
