Only 25 miles outside the city of San Jose lies the quaint town of Turrialba in Cartago Province. Approximately 7 miles to the north stands Turrialba Volcano, one of the few active volcanos in Costa Rica where it is possible to hike to the crater. Nearby, the raging Pacuare and Reventazon Rivers offer world famous whitewater rafting. Just outside of town lies the Guayabo National Monument, the only pre-Columbian site in the country that allows public exploration of ruins. Comfortable country hotels and lodges provide a variety of amenities. Surrounded by a combination of hills, mountains, lakes, rivers, and canyons, some have swimming pools and Jacuzzis while others invite you to tour their small animal farm and take cooking classes. One features an English style pub and a private landing pad for your helicopter. Area activities include rafting, ziplining, canyoning, kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking and coffee tours.
