TurrialbaWith some stunning views of Costa Rica’s rural countryside, Turrialba is a charming little town in the lush and beautiful rolling green hills of the Central Valley. It’s just over 50 km east of San Jose, so it’s a great stop off on the way up to Tortugero National Park.
However it’s not the town itself which is the main attraction; people come here for the world-class white water rafting, hiking up the Turrialba Volcano and the beauty of the coffee and sugarcane plantations. There are plenty of activities on offer so it’s a great destination for families and those who thrive on adventure.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
Below are some examples of what you can see and do in the area, though we can tailor any itinerary to suit your interests.
Walk up the volcano and on a clear day you can see the Irazu, Poas and Barva volcanoes rising magnificently in the distance. Horse riding accompanied by a genuine vaquero (cowboy) and marvel at the beauty of the Turrialba Valley and the Angostura Lake. River rafting along the world famous Rios Pacuare and Reventazon – they are sometimes used as training grounds for Olympic white water rafters and kayakers.
