TURRIALBA

Turrialba is a typical small “Tico” town located in the mountains 65 km east of San Jose. In the center, you can find a few hotels, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, discos, swimming pools, banks, internet cafes, a post office and several gyms. Because of its non-touristy atmosphere Turrialba is a great place for people who are looking for an authentic experience involving meeting Ticos and Ticas. Every Friday and Saturday you can visit the farmers' market in the town center where you will find a wide range of fresh vegetables, fruits, cheese and other authentic home-made products.
