Turrialba, Costa Rica

The volcano is active, though has not had an eruption since the late nineteenth century, and the area is, oddly, one of the least visited of all the volcanoes in Costa Rica. Stand on that crater, however (it is safe to climb) and you can even see the Barva, Irazu and Poas volcanoes on the horizon.

Othe tourist attractions in Turrialba include the Rios Pacuare and Reventazon, two rivers which have become world famous for their white water rafting opportunities. The rivers are frequently used as training grounds for both kayakers and even world class white water rafters and dozens of trips are organized on a daily basis, making them an ideal destination for both families and thrill seekers.

Also lying near to Turrialba are the Center for Agronomy Research and Development, which collects and researches plant and tree life from all over the world and takes up an astonishing two thousand acres of land, and Costa Rica's Guayabo National Monument, the only publically accessible site in the whole nation that allows visitors to look at what life was like in the pre-Columbian era.

With excellent accommodation and accessibility, Turrialba should be on every tourist's list of places to visit in Costa Rica.
