Itinerary:
After being picked up at the varying hotels we will take the road toward to
the Turrialba Volcano National Park where we will journey approximately 4
hours by horse to the highest point of the volcano, we will leave the horses
to take a small hike in which we will explore the volcano’s three craters
from inside. This is the only volcano in Costa Rica where you will be able
to walk inside the crater.
The Turrialba Volcano erupted for last time in 1886 more than 122 years ago.
It is Costa Rica’s second highest volcano next to Irazú. The
Turrialba Volcano was called “Torre Alba” or “white smoke”
by the first Spanish settlers. It is an important source of work due to the
surrounding’s cultivation of large quantities of vegetables as well
as its traditional production of dairy products.
