Turrialba Volcano
The town is really interesting because it's kind of abandoned and has a spooky feel to it, however, the surroundings are full of farms with picturesque landscapes and views. With some luck, we will be able to see potatoes, carrots, beets, and other vegetables being harvested by locals and learn about costarican agriculture.

Reviews
The weather was nice and clear.
I would recommend Oropopo Tour Experience for your next visit to Costa Rica. The are not only masters at making the tour work smoothly and efficiently but also they are biologists which for us was an added value to our experience. Lots of learning.
Very good value for the money, in my opinion one of the best tours I’ve taken. Thanks, Rigo
We left in the morning for the Irazu volcano. Unfortunately, the craters weren’t visible due to fog and clouds. Nevertheless, I’ve gotten a great introduction to the volcano and how it affects local plants and animals.
The next part of the trip was to the foot of the volcano turrialba. The drive through the rainforest was very impressive. We stopped several times to take pictures.
Guayabo was a very interesting experience. It was nice to learn all about the ancient ruins that can be found there. Also, the rainforest and wildlife was very impressive: we saw capuchin monkeys, toucans and leafeater ants.
