Turrialba Volcano Hike

When was the last time you hiked up an active volcano?

If you like hiking and if walking up to an active volcano is on your bucket list, this experience is for you. One of the things that makes Costa Rica so interesting is the number of microclimates you can find in such a small country. This hike starts at an altitude of approximately 2600 meters above sea level, which makes the surrounding flora and fauna already quite different from what you might have seen in our country; but as you hike up to an altitude of 3340 meters above sea level the ecosystem is so different that it looks like a different country up there. With some luck, and if you’re paying attention as you hike you might spot the magnificent quetzal.

The route is approximately 5 km, the first part of the hike could take you around 2 hours. You’ll get to the viewpoint where, if weather allows, you’ll find amazing views of the crater, surrounding areas and the Turrialba Valley. Because we’re in an active volcano, you’ll have about 20 minutes up there to enjoy the view and catch your breath before is time to hike back down.
