Drive to Turrialba and enjoy some stunning views of Costa Rica’s rural countryside. Turrialba is a charming little town in the lush and beautiful Central Valley and Cartago . Famous for being a white water rafting hotspot and base camp, this town lies 53 km east of the capital city, San Jose, and is an excellent place to tour the pre-columbian ruins at Guayabo or the rarely visited but lovely Parque Nacional Volcan Turrialba.
A quiet town, with its charming street corners and gorgeous surrounding scenery is among the few places in Costa Rica with direct access to a volcano’s crater. From the summit of the volcano, on a clear day, you can see the Irazu, Poas and Barva volcanoes in the distance. Among the most rarely visited national parks in Costa Rica, the Turrialba Volcano National Park is home to the active Turrialba Volcano, whose last major eruption occurred in 1866. The volcano itself is only 15 km northwest of town. However, it is safe to climb, and though the facilities at the park are rather meager, it is still a worthwhile trip.
Stay at the Guayabo lodge.
