Q: What should I wear for the Irazú and Turrialba volcano tour?

Wear layers, sturdy hiking boots, and a waterproof jacket. Temperatures are much colder at the summits than in San Jose.

Q: Are the volcanoes accessible year-round?

Moderate fitness is recommended. While some areas are drive-up, short hikes on uneven, volcanic terrain are common.

Visibility depends on cloud cover. Early morning tours offer the best chance of seeing the lakes without fog obscuring the view.

Yes, bring sunglasses and a mask if available, as volcanic gases or ash can sometimes affect air quality near the crater.
