The Hule maar complex formed about 11 km N of the Poás summit. The 2-km-wide complex contains Laguna Hule on the W side, the small Laguna Bosque Alegre on the N, and Laguna Congo to the NW. The cone to the right rises about 130 m above the roughly 20-m-deep lake. Photo by Guillermo Alvarado, 1987 (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad).
