The Fun Begins. We leave San Jose heading east to Cartago and then up to the top of the Irazu Volcano, Costa Ricas tallest Volcano at 3400 meters above sea level. After some time to explore the lunar-like craters of the volcano we begin the first mountain bike section of the trip. The first part of the route takes us across the saddle that connects the Irazu Volcano with the Turrialba Volcano. The Turrialba Volcano is quite active and it is common to see smoke coming out of its crater. We pass a few kilometers from the crater then begin a long descent past several dairy and vegetable farms on our way down the volcano.
