This scenic stop, guided by a certified expert, offers much more than a view: it's an invitation to contemplate the harmony between nature, history, and rural Costa Rican life. A perfect moment to take a deep breath, capture the beauty with your camera and let yourself be enveloped by the stillness of the valley.

In the heart of the peaceful Orosí Valley, you'll stop at a jewel of Costa Rican heritage: the colonial church of Orosí, built in 1743 and considered the oldest church in continuous use in the country.

Surrounded by mountains and gardens, the experience invites a contemplative pause, where every detail, from the adobe walls to the carved wooden benches, connects the traveler with the spiritual and cultural essence of Costa Rica.
