Situated 65 kilometers east of the city of San José, the beautiful region of Turrialba is washed by the pure waters of the Reventazón river, which converted the lands into an agricultural area over a hundred years ago. Rains throughout the year create a green collage of primary forests, biological reserve, reforested areas, and extensive plantations of coffee, macadamia and sugar cane, demonstrating a perfect balance between agricultural development and the conservation of the wealth of nature.

Activities such as kayaking, white water rafting on the river rapids, and the biological diversity convert Turrialba into one of the sites most liked by those seeking scientific tourism or adventure.
