    It couldn't have been better! It was our first time rappelling, and it was an incredible experience! Enrique and Cris, our guides, were phenomenal! They were always concerned about my family's safety! They gave us wetsuits, which were definitely a huge help! We saw other tourists with other companies who didn't give them enough time, explanations, or safety information, and seemed to be in a hurry! That wasn't the case for our family. We enjoyed the place and the activities, and it's something I would definitely do again!

A Glimpse into the Past

Turrialba has deep roots in Costa Rica’s agricultural traditions, once thriving as a key hub thanks to its railway and banana plantations. Over time, it transformed into a peaceful town known for its natural beauty, proximity to the Turrialba Volcano, and world-class white-water rafting along the Pacuare River.

When to Visit?

The town enjoys a mild, pleasant climate year-round. The dry season, from December to April, is perfect for outdoor adventures and volcano hikes. The green season, from May to November, paints the countryside in even brighter shades of green and is ideal for those seeking fewer crowds.

Is the Volcano Active?

Yes, the Turrialba Volcano is active. While you can get great viewpoints from various safe spots, direct access to the crater area usually depends on safety regulations. Always check current conditions before planning your visit.
