107.5 acres (43.5 hectares) with waterfalls in Turrialba

107.5 acres (43.5 hectares) of green mountains, forest, and waterfalls in Turrialba, on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The land has its own waterfalls and wide views of the valleys: a natural setting for a development, a spa, or a retirement hotel.

The property, Altos de Santubal, sits above the lowlands of Bajo Pacuare, close to the entrance on the Caribbean side toward Chirripó, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. The Cabécar indigenous reserve of Chirripó borders the land, and there is a heliport close by.

The local school teaches English, Cabécar, and Spanish, so almost everyone here speaks those three languages. For guests, workers, and neighbors, that makes life and business easier.

Turrialba is known as the adventure capital of Costa Rica. Most of the country's whitewater rafting companies have their base here, and the Pacuare River, with class III and IV rapids through deep rainforest canyons, is often named one of the most beautiful rafting rivers in the world. Kayaking, canyoning, horseback riding, and hiking are all close.

Turrialba also has history and nature: Guayabo National Monument, one of the most important archaeological sites in Costa Rica, with pre-Columbian stone roads and aqueducts; Turrialba Volcano National Park; and CATIE, a world-known center for tropical agriculture with coffee and cacao gardens. It is coffee country, famous too for its Turrialba cheese.
