Abstract
Las Pailas geothermal field, located in northwestern Costa Rica and on the southwestern flank of the Quaternary Rincón de la Vieja volcano complex is adjacent to the Rincón de la Vieja National Park to the north and a non-governmental organization owned protected area to the west. These adjacent areas are within the extents of the area of geothermal interest, for which reason less invasive methods of prospection are required to evaluate the geothermal resource in these areas before new drilling exploration campaigns can begin.
