The valley has been an agricultural center for over a century !!
Visit a sugar cane mill in season, a coffee facility where Costa Rica's superior beans are prepared, and a processing plant for the flavorful macadamia nut. One of the principal attractions of the area is a thrilling ride in a river raft or a kayak. It was here at Hacienda Atirro that the first daring rafters hit the waters of the Reventazón River over a decade ago.
Jungle and forest lovers commune with nature along various marked paths. Horseback riders and bicyclers find the ideal terrain for their outings. Nearby is the country's most famous archaeological site, the pre-columbian ruins of Guayabo National Park. For additional excursions to Costa Rica's natural wonders, see Tour Information.
The Turrialba Valley lies 65 km. east of San José, the nation's capital. Irrigated by the Reventazón River, the valley has been an agricultural center for over a century. This region, with evenly distributed rains during the year, comprises a green mosaic of primary mountain-forests, biological reserves, natural and man-made forests, and coffee plantations. A delicate balance has been maintained between agricultural development and ecological preservation. The scenic beauty, fauna & flora diversity, along with the development of white-water rafting and kayaking make Turrialba a favorite spot for adventure tourism and scientific exploration.
