Irazu volcano is also a national park since 1955 and has five craters. Its name comes from the indigenous word “Istarú,” meaning “mountain of tremors and fire.” Despite of being the volcano with highest altitude in the country, its summit can be reached easily by car, making this volcano very accessible to all kind of visitors.
