La
Marta
Hike
-
Rated
Intermediate
NEW
La
Marta
Private
Reserve,
located
15
miles
from
Turrialba,
is
a
successful
example
of
private
conservation
efforts
and
a
haven
for
local
plants
and
wildlife.
From
1875
until
1920,
La
Marta
was
a
successful
coffee
farm
and
mill.
After
1920,
however,
changes
in
local
farming
and
coffee
milling
practices
led
to
the
sudden
shutdown
of
the
facilities
and
their
abandonment.
Today
nature
can
be
seen
taking
back
the
site
and
the
surrounding
forest
once
again
dominates
the
landscape.
Our
hike
inside
La
Marta
starts
at
the
old
coffee
mill
and
then
takes
us
deep
into
primary
rainforest.
Total
hike
time
is
three
hours.
Price
per
person:
$85.

Turrialba
Volcano

towering
giant
is
Irazú's

volcano
and
one
of
the
least

Rica.
Our
hike
starts
from
a
quaint
farming
town
set
in
the
foothills
of
the
volcano
and
over
the
course
of
three
hours
takes
us
to
the
top
of
the
mountain,
where
we
will
be
able
to
appreciate
the
majestic
crater.
The
descent
into
the
crater
is
a
one-hour
hike
on
narrow
trails.
Inside
the
crater
we
will
be
able
to
appreciate
the
unique
ecosystem
and
minerals
found
normally
deep
underground.
Total
hike
time
is
five
to
six
hours.
