The Irazu Valcano National Park, Cartago, Costa Rica.

Thank you so much for this, I really do not know how you work it out so quick.
Just a wee thing if anyone is copying and pasting, should it not be Volcano as opposed to Valcano?The best things in life are free.....0 -

I'm not sure if it is a national park they are looking for?
I think they are looking for a volcano judging by the clue. The first clue in the Kenai River week was describing a geographical feature and I think this week may be the same?
Which does not make it much easier as there are around 9 volcanoes on Costa Rica. However, only 5 of them are considered active from here: http://www.govisitcostarica.com/travelInfo/volcanoes.asp
Which narrows it down to these "the Arenal, Poas, Ricon de la Vieja, Orosi & Irazu".

says:
"This active volcano can be seen from the back side of the Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica"
which I am reading as the pic is taken from Irazu and we are looking at another volcano?
So which volcano are we looking at?
From these maps
http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/en/costa_rica.html
and
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/CostaRica/Maps/map_costa_rica_volcanoes.html
I think we must be looking at Poas, Barva, Arenal or Turrialba?
My first instinct would be Poas or Turrialba as they are closer. However Arenal is the most active and known for its night tours
http://www.arenal-online.com/cms/front_content.php?idart=232
Which brings us to Turrialba which is closer and erupted in Jan 2010
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turrialba_Volcano
Irazu hasn't erupted since 1994
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraz%C3%BA_Volcano
I have not submitted my guess for today yet and wondered if anyone has any other thoughts?0 -
You people need to slow down and smell the coffee roasting in your hotel rooms!
This picture's description says "This active volcano can be seen from the back side of the Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica (shutterstock photo 28522324).
The volcano in the photo is therefore not Irazu, it is Turrialba. Witness this match on flickr (betobeto/2379416332):
And I found info on it being recently active at costaricapages dot com that it erupted with Poas on 09/14/2010.
My vote: Turrialba Volcano National Park, Costa Rica (there is not enough room in the form for inserting the name of the province, Cartago, so you will have to leave it out)0 -

Welcome JonDG,
I think I did say in my last post "This active volcano can be seen from the back side of the Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica"
I am also leaning to Turrialba volcano but there are other possibilities.
Also it is not clear whether it is the volcano we are looking at which is required or the location that the picture has been taken from. If it is the latter then it will be Irazu volcano if it is the former then I think it will be either Turrialba or Arenal.0
