Turrialba Travel Info

The Pacuare River near Turrialba is one of the best white-water rafting destinations on the planet

Alright, so the town´s nothing special – a bustling, dirty agricultural centre that lies in the shadow of the Turrialba Volcano. But if you´re a white-water rafter or kayaker, you´ll definitely want to drop your anchor here.

Two nearby rivers – Rio Reventazon and Rio Pacuare – are Meccas for all manner of adrenal-fuelled water-sports, with the Pacuare considered one of the top five white-water rafting rivers in the world.
