Orosi is a quiet little town in a mountain valley with the Rio Grande Orosi river running through the valley.
A few kilometers away, at the southern end of the valley, the road ends and the Parque Nacional Tapantí Macizo Cerro de la Muerte begins. This park covers about 600 km² and forms the northernmost section of a massive collection of nature parks that extends into Panamá (the largest of which is the Parque Internacional La Amistad). As a result, wildlife abounds. However, access is difficult and largely restricted apart from a few kilometers of easy trails. The abundance of birds makes it a popular place for ornithology studies. Part of the reason for the abundant growth is the heavy rainfall, which ranges up to 7000 mm in the mountains.
Turrialba Valley (Gateway to the Caribbean)
The town of Turrialba is nestled in the Turrialba Valley just 2.5hrs. from San Jose international airport. Most travellers pass through Turrialba on their way to the Caribbean ocean and some of the best beaches in Costa Rica only 1.5hrs. drive from here. Turrialba Valley is a thriving community of 80,000 people and the primary source of income comes from the great farmland around it, growing and exporting all kinds of vegetables, fruits, sugar cane, coffee and more. Many people visit the area for the world class white water rapids on the Reventizon and Pacuare rivers which flow through the valley, also in majestic hills sits the Turrialba Volcano, one of the highest in Costa Rica. Turrialba has its own well staffed Hospital and is in the process of building a new additional Hospital using donated land from “Catie” the Agricultural University of Costa Rica, another place many people love to visit to view many of the varied bird species in this beautiful area. Friday and Saturday finds people shopping in the thriving market place in downtown Turrialba.
