This area became the outpost of "aficionados" of kayaking and rafting. Pineapple,  sugar cane, banania and macadamia plantations, turbulent rivers (Rio Pacuare and Rio Reventazon) dot the beautiful landscape and paisaible campaign. With the only important archaeological site in the country, Guayabo Monument, and near the volcanoes Turrialba and Irazu this region has become a well-liked place of residence.

 

Going into the Talamanca cordillera, you can meet the Indian Cabecares and live for a day with these villagers and their indigenous traditions.
