Volcán Rincón de la Vieja

Volcán Rincón de la Vieja

El Rincón de la Vieja es un imponente estratovolcán de composición química andesítica, ubicado en la Cordillera de Guanacaste (coordenadas: 10° 50′ Norte y 85° 23′ Oeste). Con una altitud de 1.905 metros sobre el nivel del mar, su cima presenta una geografía desafiante: al coronar el ascenso se llega a un estrecho «lomo de burro» sumamente peligroso, donde el espacio para mantenerse en pie es mínimo, flanqueado a la izquierda por el cráter activo y a la derecha por un abismo vertical de unos 500 metros de profundidad.

Este coloso se caracteriza por una constante actividad de fumarolas y por generar potentes erupciones freáticas y freatomagmáticas que arrojan agua, piedras y lodo. Históricamente, registró importantes periodos de actividad en 1851, 1863, 1922, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1983, 1987 y 1991.

Tras una etapa de relativa calma a finales del siglo pasado, el volcán reactivó su fuerza a partir del año 2011. Desde entonces, ha mantenido un comportamiento sumamente dinámico, registrando erupciones de gran envergadura y constantes flujos de lodo (lahares) en los años 2017, 2020, 2021 y 2023, consolidando un ciclo continuo de fuerte actividad eruptiva que se extiende de forma ininterrumpida durante 2024, 2025 y el presente 2026.
