This province on the Central Plateau
is known as the Land of the Flowers with a landscape full of picturesque
little villages, old churches, adobe houses, shady plazas and, as you may
guess , wonderful displays of flora and fauna: orchids, bromeliads and
mosses, among others.

The
Braulio Carrillo
National Park is also a highlight in this region, where the Rain Forest
Aerial Tram can take you through the park and allow you to see in a unique
way the most splendid reserve of virgin forest, with minimum disturbance to
the environment.
