The park was established on 25 January 1971.
Poás volcano is a huge arc volcano-tectonic massif, large enough to deform gravitationally under its own weight (Borgia et al., 1990). It is also a globally important example of a persistently active magmatic-hydrothermal crater lake system, with attendant important geosphere-biosphere interactions.
