We will drive to the top of the Turrialba Volcano and hike down to the craters. You will see the amazing views of the valley and the Caribbean coast! It is here where we explore this beautiful place. The Turrialba Volcano is a National Park that is approximately 3,332 meters above the sea level. The Turrialba Volcano presents 3 well-defined craters and others disfigured by the activity. The central crater is the deepest of them all at 50 meters deep. On its sides, there are two promising cones: the Tiendilla Peak and the Armando Peak. Presently, these "smokers" only release gas and vapor, with sulfur deposits. The last eruption was between 1864-1866. Its average temperature is 16ºC and with an average precipitation of 3,000 to 4,000 millimeters per year. This is a perfect tour for the adventurous people who would like to experience nature, the regional culture, and the wonderful views of Turrialba Valley.Mountain_Biking_Turrialba_Volcano


After our hiking trip on the Turrialba Volcano, we will outfit you with all necessary equipment to start our mountain biking trip. We will mountain bike down the Turrialba Volcano to Turrialba Valley. On our mountain bike descent we will stop at La Central to enjoy a healthy meal before continuing with our trip. During this mountain bike ride you will pass through patches of primary and secondary tropical forest, small farms planted with coffee and sugar cane, single track trails, and open areas where you will be able to enjoy the incredible views of the valley and the country side.
 Wildlife and beautiful vegetation are common to see, such as parrots, brown jays, tanagers and hawks. You will be accompanied by your mountain bike guide. This is one of the largest descents in the country, starting at 3,332m and finishing at 350m above sea level! This ride includes a support vehicle for immediate assistance, so there's no need to worry! This tour is a full day trip.
