Arenal Volcano is an active andesitic stratovolcano in north-western Costa Rica around 90 km northwest of San José, in the province of Alajuela, canton of San Carlos, and district of La Fortuna. The Arenal volcano measures at least 1,633 metres (5,358 ft), It is conically shaped with a crater spanning 140 metres (460 ft). Arenal is geologically considered a young volcano and the age is estimated to be less than 7,000 years.
Poás Volcano is considered an active strato-volcano with two crater lakes at its summit. It has erupted thirty nine times since 1828 and is considered the largest active crater in the world often with geyser eruptions. Poas was only a few miles from the epicenter of the January 8th, 2009 6.2 magnitude earthquake that killed thirty people.
Irazú Volcano is 
 an active volcano in Costa Rica, situated in the Cordillera Central close to the city of Cartago. Its name could come from either the combination of "ara" (point) and "tzu" (thunder) or a corruption of Iztarú, which was the name of an indigenous village on the flanks of the volcano. In Costa Rica it is known by the name of "El Coloso" (The Colossus) due to the catastrophes that it has provoked in the past.
