Agriculture is the main economic activity of the area, meaning visitors will see a great number of cattle ranches, milk processing plants, and great swathes of coffee, sugar cane, and Macadamia nut plantations. It is only in this place where the famous ‘Turrialba’ cheese is allowed to be produced.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Most striking” tab_id=”1421970377913-3-889c6-3f527158-c283565f-1a1d”][vc_column_text]
One of the main natural attractions of the region is the impressive Turrialba Volcano and its surrounding natural park (located only 15kms/9.3miles northwest of town). This volcano, whose last major eruption occurred in 2014 with an ash rain that got to the Central Valley is one of the most active in Costa Rica right now.
Another attraction of the region is Guayabo National Monument, an archaeological excavation of an aboriginal village, segments of which date back to over three thousand years. It is the largest and most important archaeological site in Costa Rica. Conserved archaeological structures such as causeways, mounds, bridges, aqueduct tanks, and others can be found at the site. It also protects high evergreen forest patches, typical of mountainous rainforests.
Turrialba is also famous for its white water rafting and is the basecamp of a series of white water tour operators.
