Located one and a half hours west of San Jose, Orotina is situated
in the "dry" (i.e., not so humid) Pacific Region. This fertile area of Alajuela Province is known
as the fruit basket of Costa Rica, producing large quantities of tropical
fruits.
The nearby Carara
Biological Reserve habors the fragile environment of the dry deciduous forest,
a unique habitat for a wide range of wildlife specific to the area.
On the way to Jaco Beach on the Pacific Coast, you will pass through Orotina
and then the Rio Tarcoles, famous for its crocodile tours and sightings of
the engangered scarlet macaws.
