Tortuguero is a Pleistocene pyroclastic cone on the Atlantic coastal plain adjacent to the Caribbean Sea (Barquero and Saenz, 1987; Alvarado, 2000). The small basaltic pyroclastic cone was constructed over fluvial sediments along one of the many lagoons common on this part of the coastline. The cone lies near the northern boundary of Tortuguero National Park, a coastal rainforest park rich in birds and wildlife.
