Orosi Valley

Nestled between the steep slopes of Irazu Volcano and Cloud Forest National Park Tapantí, the Orosi Valley is one of the most beautiful destinations in Costa Rica, however when you get there, it feels as if discovering a destination unexplored. The whole valley is surrounded by breathtaking mountains, a large stretch of virgin forests and vast emerald coffee farms in the distance look like velvet cloaks. This is the Costa Rica of yesteryear.
A country road in good calm stretches between coffee farms that are located in a very beautiful valley surrounded by colorful flowers, towering volcanoes and small towns. In the shadows hide stunning waterfalls, hot springs and excellent places for hiking. All these places have in places away from the tourist crowds.
Orosi viewpoint: After passing through Cartago and Paraiso, stop right side just before starting the descent so you can enjoy tremendous views across the valley, with the town of Orosi surrounded by coffee plantations.
The town of Orosi. The colonial church in the center of the village dates from 1727 and has very nice gardens and very nice museum that displays collections of artifacts and religious paintings. The museum is open from 8 am to 5 pm, except 12 noon to 1 PM, when closed due to lunch hour.
The town seems like a dream, but it is a living testimony of Costa Rica's agricultural past.
The Dreamers House. Quesada brothers continue the tradition of his father in producing excellent products hand carved from small statues to furniture designed to suit the client.
Hot Springs. There are many choices of places with hot springs in this town. There are two public beaches. However, the thermal favorite place is right on the edge of town in a coffee farm privately owned. These hot springs naturally bubble next to the Orosi River, which provides a wonderful contrast in temperature between giant boulders, lush forests and a sense of discovery. Montaña Linda can provide maps to get to this site.
Cachi Dam. Buy some delicious corn and enjoy the view across the valley from a hydroelectric plant in Costa Rica.
