What our travelers think about their stay
Turrialba is a brightly colored, university town. It's not a major town on the tourist trail, but it's a nice stopover if you're on a Costa Rican road trip.
My suggestion
Take your camera out and explore the streets in the vividly colored center of town; you'll have fun shooting some street scenes.

My suggestion
Turrialba and Irazu are twins, because they share the same foundations, but they are 20 kilometers apart. Personally I suggest you choose Irazu.
