What are major lakes rivers or mountains in Costa Rica?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

too numerous to mention. of note there really are no lakes in Costa Rica except for the man-made Lago Arenal and the Laguna de Corcovado deep inside the Corcovado National Park (this lagoon is almost entirely covered by vegetation).

as far as mountains go we have plenty:

Volcan Arenal

Volcan Poas

Volcan Barva

Volcan Irazu

Volcan Turrialba

Volcan Rincon de La Vieja

Volcan Tenorio

Volcan Miravalles

Cerro Chirripo

The most famous if you have to name 3 would be: 1.) Arenal as it's active daily and it's a major tourist attraction. 2.) Poas, the most visited National Park in Costa Rica and easily accesible from San Jose. 3.) Cerro Chirripo, the highest point in Costa Rica.

Rivers: again plenty of them but Rio Reventazon and Rio Pacuare are most often mentioned (especially by white water enthusiasts), and Rio Tarcoles (unfortunately because of its heavy pollution)
