Jerry,
We couldn’t agree with you more. My wife and I have lived here in the campo about a year. We are a half hour from Turrialba down the bad road. Can you imagine life here without those rubber boots? Nobody speaks English around here, which has created the need to learn Spanish faster than we planned. It is fun and always an adventure living away from the city life in a foreign country. We have met very few Gringos in the entire area, but truly are grateful to the new Tico friends whom have been incredibly helpful and sincere. We’ve only been to La Suiza a few times, and plan to return again soon in the future. There is a talented furniture maker close to you.
Pura Vida,Al and Patty
Ken,
My wife and I live a half hour from Turrialba in a rural village. To the best of our knowledge, there is no catch-all website for Turrialba. If you are looking for luxury accommodations, Casa Turire is the place to stay. There are a number of hotels right in town, including Hotel Wagelia. In addition, there are cabinas available from $10-$20 a night in the area. As far as tourism around Turrialba, there is the Guayabo National Monument, Volcan Turrialba, white water rafting/kayaking, CATIE gardens, cycling, horseback riding, etc. If you are here on the 17th of June, there will be a great concert for $3 by Humberto Vargas in Tucurrique at Palanenque Correque (a.k.a. Rancho Grande). They also have a restaurant/bar plus cabinas. If you are looking for properties in the area, drop us a line: coffeefarmer@gmail.com. We know of some properties for sale by Ticos in the general vicinity.
Regards,
Al & Patri
