Irazú Volcano National Park, located in Costa Rica, is home to the country's highest active volcano, Irazú Volcano, which stands at 3,432 meters (11,260 feet) above sea level. The park is renowned for its stunning crater lakes, with the principal crater often filled with a strikingly green or turquoise lake depending on the volcanic activity and rainfall. Visitors can experience unique landscapes, including lunar-like terrain and diverse flora adapted to the harsh volcanic environment. On clear days, it is possible to see both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from the summit.
