Near the city of Cartago in central Costa Rica is the base of the Irazú Volcano. As the highest volcano in the country, it is possible to see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from the top on a clear day. Despite the small land mass, Costa Rica is home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity and contains remarkable natural beauty.
