Costa Rica Volcanoes
Located along the Ring of Fire, Costa Rica is home to over two hundred identified volcanic formations, some of which are over sixty million years old. Only half of these show signs of possible future activity, though unlikely any time soon. At present, six are considered to be active. The volcanoes of Costa Rica can be categorized into three ranges. The Central Volcanic Range includes Turrialba, Irazu, Poas and Barva. The Talamanca Volcanic Range includes El Viejo Volcano and is located in the southern zone. The northwest Guanacaste Volcanic Range includes Miravalles, Tenorio, Orosi, Rincon de la Vieja and Arenal.
