Cerro Tilarán, also known as Cerro Tovar, is a small andesitic shield volcano that lies at the NW end of the Tilarán Range west of Lake Arenal, immediately SW of the town of Tilarán. It is overlain by tephra deposits from Arenal (maximum age about 7,000 years), but an Ar-Ar date of 1 million years was obtained (Alvarado, 2000) and the volcano is of Pleistocene age (Alvarado 2005, pers. comm.). The Tilarán Range, which lies to the west of the main volcanic chain, is a fault-bounded tectonic block of Miocene-Pleistocene andesitic rocks of the Monteverde formation.
