Turrialba in eastern Costa Rica is a lush region that produces coffee, sugarcane, numerous types of cheeses and is where the internationally renowned tropical agriculture research station CATIE is located. The area hosts an ancient indigenous site at Guayabo National Monument, and a simmering active volcano also named Turrialba. The Turrialba Valley is home to the famous Pacuare River, listed in “Outdoor Magazine” as one of the top ten rivers in the world for white water rafting. What has earned the Pacuare River this acclaim is its eighteen miles of class III and IV rapids and some of the most breathtaking scenery in all of Costa Rica. You will enjoy the thrill of the rapids, as well as the natural beauty that surrounds the river such as cascading waterfalls…
