Turrialba
About
Deep in the central mountains, Turrialba is an oasis of adventure waiting to be explored! One of the oldest communities in Costa Rica, Turrialba still holds a vast amount of raw locations, many hidden for centuries, and others awaiting discovery.
Home to the top rivers in Costa Rica, Rio Pacuare & Rio Reventazon, several amazing waterfalls, great hiking, extreme mountain biking, the mystical lost city of Guayabo – dating back over 3000 years, Volcan Turrialba which smokes like a train from time to time, and secluded swim spots with great temperatures all year! Be sure to ask if there are any festivals at your time of visit.
If you´re looking for the true rawness of Costa Rica, Turrialba is a must see! One of the best places in Costa Rica to immerse oneself within the “Tico” culture, as it is 90% Spanish-only speaking and offers an abundance of typical foods. Delicious meals for $4-$5 (see the local sodas), including coffee or freshly blended fruit juice!
Puerto Viejo
About
PURA VIDA!
The truest of PURA VIDA! Rasta vibes, endless beaches, and the wildlife is not only in the jungle, the party is always on!
This Caribbean beach town is near the end of the road, as you head toward Panama. Grab a bike, find a secluded beach and spend your day laying under palm trees between dips in the beautiful & warm Caribbean water!
The best is you won’t find any high-rise hotel or chains in this part of paradise.
La Fortuna
About
A world of adventure!
From the most picturesque volcano in Costa Rica, the magnificent crater lake of Cerro Chato, high flying canopy, waterfall rappelling as you hike through lush rain forest canyons, Venado Caves with over thousands of years of history, to the body healing mineral rich hot springs, La Fortuna is an adventure paradise!
Learning the history of how devastated small town communities formed a quest to make its predator volcano, Volcan Arenal, repay for its massive destruction is a treasure in itself..
Although the Arenal volcano isn’t visually active, the La Fortuna/Arenal area is still the perfect entrance to possibly more adventure than any other single place in Costa Rica! So, be sure not to miss this adventure paradise!! A bit more expensive than many other places, it’s possible to eat (typical breakfast $4-$5 & typical lunch with fresh fruit drink $5-$6) and sleep (hostels from $12 to $15 per night, clean hotel rooms from $45) for great prices if you follow our guidance.. 🙂
