Miravalles

Vigorous mud eruptions occur at Las Hornillos thermal area on the west flank of Costa Rica's Miravalles volcano. A geothermal project in the 15 x 20 km Guayabo caldera (inside which Miravalles volcano was constructed) provides a major component of the electrical power needs of Costa Rica.
