Irazú Volcano National Park was established in 1955 to protect the summit of Costa Rica's tallest volcano, at 3,432 meters above sea level. Its steaming main crater and the smaller, lake-filled Diego de la Haya crater nearby are what draw most visitors, but the volcano's real legacy stretches far beyond the summit: centuries of ash fall, including a major eruptive cycle that lasted from 1963 to 1965, have enriched the soil of the Central Valley below into some of the most productive coffee-growing land in the world — the same volcanic soil the Orosí Valley's coffee farms depend on today.
The Orosí Valley itself, carved by the Reventazón River and named for a Huetar indigenous chief, holds a different kind of history than the volcano above it. At its center, the town of Orosí is home to the Iglesia de San José de Orosí, built by Franciscan friars in 1743 and still Costa Rica's oldest church in continuous active use — its thick adobe walls have withstood multiple significant earthquakes over nearly three centuries.
Nearby, on the shore of the man-made Lake Cachí (created by damming the Reventazón River for hydroelectric power), stand the limestone ruins of an even older church: Nuestra Señora de la Limpia Concepción del Rescate de Ujarrás, built between 1686 and 1693. The village around it was abandoned in 1833 after a series of earthquakes and floods, and its residents resettled at what's now the town of Paraíso, leaving only the roofless colonial walls behind in what's today a landscaped park.
Hacienda Orosi's thermal pools have a detail that surprises people expecting a classic volcanic hot spring: the water isn't heated by nearby volcanic activity at all, but rises from deep fractures in the surrounding tectonic plates, which is why it's described as mineral-rich rather than volcanic. The seven pools here range from about 36°C to 39°C and carry a mix of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and other minerals picked up on the way to the surface.
