The highest peak of the Orosí volcanic complex is Volcán Cacao, which is seen here from the SW. The summit contains a scarp on the SW as a result of edifice collapse. Orosí is one of a cluster of four eroded and vegetated cones in the Guanacaste Range at the NW corner of Costa Rica. Photo by Cindy Stine, 1989 (U.S. Geological Survey).
