Cerros de Turrubares

Cerros de Turrubares, which means Turrubares Hills in Spanish, is a rural area in Costa Rica’s Central Pacific region. Cerros de Turrubares is definitely off-the-beaten-path, but it provides easy access to the Carara National Park and the central Pacific coastline.

More about Cerros de Turrubares

Aside from its instant access to nature, the major selling point of Cerros de Turrubares is its close proximity to both the Carara National Park and Pacific Ocean.

The Carara National Park is a mere 6 miles (9.5 km) from Cerros de Turrubares. This park protects one of the last portions of primary rainforest in the region and is home to a large amount of wildlife. The Tarcoles River, which forms the northern boundary of the park, is a good place to spot crocodiles, scarlet macaws, and white-faced capuchin monkeys. The park’s trails offer up additional opportunities for outdoor exploration.

Cerros de Turrubares is 9 miles (14.5 km) from the Pacific coast at Herradura. All kinds of other beaches and towns are nearby too, including Jacó. The activities in this area are abundant and include surfing, swimming, jet skiing, and kayaking.

Costa Rica is now one of my top destination I will recommend! Yahaira was an incredible planner, the whole team was reactive and helped me in every steps of the way and every issues ! I will definitely recommend to use your service and will not hesitate to reuse it for another trip. My first driver José put me in the Costa Rican vibe right away thank you very much to him!

(Here is what I wrote to David Leon, our travel agent. He was/is Fabulous!) Hola David, Our trip to Costa Rica was everything we could have hoped for and more! We loved our accommodations and the tours we took. I thought the cocoa plantation visit would be my least favorite but it turned out to be the best! Starting with the La Fortuna Waterfall hike, then a traditional Costa Rican lunch - our guide Mau was most exceptional along with his driver Jaime. I can’t say enough about Mau - so informative, friendly, engaging. Then on to the chocolate plantation where the family welcomed us and brought us into their work making chocolate. It was so fun and interesting and Muy Delicioso!! We loved the entire day despite all the pouring rain. Issac, our first guide at the El Silencio Mirador Trails and Eco Termales was outstanding as well. I had a lot of questions about the country and land conservation along with the political structure and he was so informative. Every guide we had was truly awesome along with every driver. We got to see a lot of the Muy Bonito countryside driving from place to place. That was a most unexpected delight! The only part of the trip that was disappointing was the Sloth Sanctuary. The tour had way too many people on it - the Sanctuary acknowledged this during the tour and apologized for the over crowding. Thanks for all your help, David. On a scale of 1-10 ten being the highest, I would give this trip a 10+ rating. We ebJOYed it so much and we fell in love with Costa Rica. Your country is so Beautiful- you have so much to be proud of. We are so impressed with all that you are doing for the environment! Costa Rica is a model for how to live sustainably as a partner with our Earth. So thank you for that, too. We wish you all the best for a beautiful and healthy 2025!

We really loved our trip to Costa Rica
We really loved our trip to Costa Rica. A beautiful country and really nice people. Patricia put together a great package for us. Enjoyed our accommodations, the excursions were really fun and having transportation set up every step of the way made the trip so much more relaxing. Thank you.

I'd not heard of Anywhere.com before booking my trip with them.
They were great, I linked in with Braunny, discussed what I wanted from the trip and he went away, worked his magic and came up with a personalised itinerary for me. He answered lots (and lots) of questions, arranged for me to leave my suitcase (from another part of my trip) at my final hotel. If I was to use Anywhere again, I would check the reviews of the hotels first before accepting them, the first hotel was basic but good with restraunts and shops nearby, the second was a lodge and was spectacular. But the 3rd, on the beach was a disappointment. It was close to the beach but a short walk to local restaurants along a dark road. It was run down and seemed to rely on its location, however, the staff where friendly and helpful. Costa Rica is beautiful, and the excursions Braunny arranged were great. The transfers and transport around was spot on, I knew when and where it would pick me up, it was punctual and all the drivers friendly and polite. Overall well recommend Costa Rica, and Anywhere.com, and a huge thank you to Braunny for organising and arranging everything for me.
