Like all of Costa Rica's volcanoes,
costa rica volcano turrialba is a national park. Even so, due to the lack of recent eruptions--there has been no significant activity for more than 130 years--the slopes are fairly well populated with long-standing dairy farms. The greens of pasture and forest mingle in freeform patterns.
Although many adventure tourists know the city of
Turrialba (that's where a lot of the white water rafting trips begin), the volcano seems to have been bypassed by tourism--the National Parks Service doesn't even post rangers there--but it's three
craters present expansive landscapes and intriguing trekking for
adventurous travelers. Costa Rica Volcanos
Unlike other volcanoes in Costa Rica the
craters of Turrialba
are accessible. It is possible to climb down to the floor of the central crater where sulphurous fumaroles and geothermic heating of the crater floor are evident.
This is a well known
costa rica volcano, not very far away from San Jose. ( 2 hours by car ) There are many interesting
volcanoes in Central America but most of them are not easy to reach. This is one of the two volcanoes in Costa Rica ( Irazu is the other ) where the
road takes you up to the crater and you can view the caldera. The Poas
Volcano is still active and has a huge crater ( 1,3 kilometers diameter and 300 meters deep ) with a hot sulphur lake with fumaroles. It is an extraordinary natural wonder: the crater with all its colors and lush vegetation.
The trip takes you along a country road with beautiful small houses with exotic gardens and through many attractive coffee plantations. Near the
volcano you can see the caracteristic vegetation of a cloud forest with its bromeliads, epiphytes and ferns. The road gives you wonderful views over the Central Valley and the Central Mountain Range. On arrival at the
National Park.
