Costa Rica is located in the middle of Central America and borders on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean. It has a land area of just under 20,000 square miles. You can drive across Costa Rica from the Pacific to the Caribbean in about 3 hours.
Located in the in Alajuela province is the small fruit-growing town of Orotina, lying in Costa Rica’s lush and green Central Valley. Situated in the north Pacific region of the country, Orotina is a very typical agricultural Costa Rican town. Found at the foot of the Avocado Mountains and serving as a halfway point between Atenas and Quepos, Orotina is a great place to visit any time of the year due to the excellent weather conditions that prevail here.
Approximately a one hour and a half drive west of the capital city of San Jose; to reach Orotina one has to drive through picturesque and charming small towns and villages amid beautiful sceneries, long winding roads and verdant mountains. A popular stopover when traveling to Playa Jaco or Quepos, Orotina itself has one real tourist attraction, TURU BA RI Tropical Park. However, the main reason why so many people come here is because this small town is renowned throughout the country for its amazing variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Often nicknamed the ‘the fruit town,’ Orotina is just a 25 minute drive to the nearby Pacific Coast beaches and is a stones throw away from TURU BA RI, an eco-adventure theme park that is just 7 km away. This tropical park is a nature lover’s dream and is perfect for those who enjoy bird watching or love adventures. Also close to Orotina is the small town of San Mateo. This town is popular with tourists who mainly visit the Ceramic San Mateo, a ceramics shop which sells pottery made by local and regional artists.
