Poás Volcano Legend tells how the bird known as Rualdo (Chlorophonia callophrysv) obtained its plumage, as well as the origin of the lagoon that occupies the crater of the volcano.

Poás Volcano, located in the Central Volcanic Cordillera, is one of the most active volcanoes in the country, considered one of the natural wonders of Costa Rica. About this colossus, there are legends that the Indians of the region, belonging to the tribes of porpoises and huetares, made human sacrifices in their crater. One legend says that, in pre-Hispanic times, an indigenous tribe lived on the side of the mountain. In this tribe, there was a beautiful orphaned maiden, who lived alone on a ranch, and who once picked up a little Rualdo, an orphan like her, whom she cared for and protected. One day, suddenly the volcano woke up, threatening to destroy the town with its gases and lava. The priests of the tribe interpreted that the god that inhabited in the volcano wanted a human sacrifice, so they decided to sacrifice to the beautiful maiden of the Rualdo. She was carried to the crater, and when she was to be devoured by the flames, the sweet trill of the Rualdo was heard, that offered to the volcano its singing instead of the life of the woman. The volcano, compassionate, was fading until only the lagoon that is currently in its crater remains. The Rualdo could never sing again, but in return, it obtained a beautiful plumage, gilded by the heat of the flames of the volcano. This one, from time to time, remembers the song of the bird, and then lets out late cries in the form of jets of hot steam.
