"long journey by foot"[edit]

Having been in the Volcan Turrialba Area for 5 days just a few days ago, I can assure you that you can enter the park and drive up with a car. However, the crater may only be visited by foot. But, as due to the increased volcanic activity at the moment, the crater is anyway closed, thus, this point is moot. (Yes, this is Original Research, but actually, the "a long journey by foot" wasn't referenced either, so I felt at ease to remove it) --Mbimmler 14:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

National Park Closed[edit]

The National Park Turrialba and the road leading up the volcano have been closed for the public because of the increasing fumarolic activity. There are still Rangers at the park entrance, but no one is allowed to enter without a special permission form the MINAE. It is not likely that the park and the crater view will be re-opened soon. Farmers in that area complain about lots of ill cattle. They state that the acidous rain, that washes out substances from the volcanic fumaroles contaminates the pasture, what makes the cattle ill.
