Alert (Jan. 21th, 2022) Today: Costa Rica’s Turrialba Volcano Erupts Again

Turrialba Volcano is an active volcano in central Costa Rica that has been explosively eruptive in recent years including 2016 and in January, March and April 2017. Visitors used to be able to hike down into the main crater, but increased volcanic activity in 2014 to 2017, resulting in large clouds of volcanic ash, caused the surrounding Turrialba Volcano National Park to close. However, with the subsiding of the eruptions, the park and volcano reopened December 4, 2020.
