San Gerardo de Dota & Turrialba Holidays

The cool climate and lush cloud forest which surround the small town of San Gerardo de Dota make this area a bird watcher's paradise. The region is home to over 170 species of birds including hummingbirds, hawk eagles and the striking (and aptly named) resplendent quetzal.

Nearby the valley of Turrialba boasts mountainous landscapes and the cascading Pacuare River, where you can find some of Costa Rica's best white water rafting.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of Costa Rica holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Costa Rica with your own private driver, embark on a fly drive, join a sociable small group tour, or are simply looking for advice on the best national parks or luxury hotels for a beach holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
