To get to Turrialba from San Jose, you must take the road to Cartago, then go ahead to Paraiso and follow the street signs to Turrialba.
If you are driving, please be careful because the road is a windy way, full of curves, fog, cows, horses, slowly cane road-trains, which are a Chapulin with 4 o 5 platforms full of sugar canes on the way to the processing plant, rivers and valleys with picturesque views. You can still see the un-used rusted railroad tracks throughout the town.
