Orosi, Costa Rica

At the southern end of the valley lies Orosi's biggest tourist attraction, the Parque Nacional Tapanti Macizo Cerro de la Muerte, a massive National Park covering over six hundred kilometers of land and which is the northern area of a large collection nature parks extending into Panama.

The area is teeming with wildlife, with a particular proliferation of bird life. Access to the Park is not easy however, restricted to just a few kilometers of relatively easy trails. Even without the Park, however, Orosi offers an abundance of its own tourist attractions, enough to keep any visitors entertained, including boating or trout fishing along Lake Cachi or taking part in the excellent white water rafting options available along the Rio Reventazon.

With its magnificent surrounding landscape, vivid scenery, and beautiful river outlook, Orosi is a delight for nature lovers with a superb climate that provides lush green vegetation, fertile soil and the delightful thermal baths of Los Patios and Los Balnearios. Orosi is also home to the oldest existing church that is still in use in the whole of Costa Rica, the Iglesia de San Jose Orosi, which features a stunningly crafted wooden altar. Near the church is a small museum hosting many of Costa Rica's religious antiquities.

Orosi is easily accessible and has plenty of affordable accommodation options, including many hotels and lodges.
