The Turrialba Valley lies 65 km. east of San José, the nation's capital. Irrigated by the Reventazón River, the valley has been an agricultural center for over a century. This region, with evenly distributed rains during the year, comprises a green mosaic of primary mountain-forests, biological reserves, natural and man-made forests, and coffee plantations. A delicate balance has been maintained between agricultural development and ecological preservation. The scenic beauty, fauna & flora diversity, along with the development of white-water rafting and kayaking make Turrialba a favorite spot for adventure tourism and scientific exploration.
