A Generations Old Coffee Producing Farm

Costa Rica, Coffee Fields.imgLike other Central American countries, Costa Rica's economic and industrial progress was opened up by the production and exportation of coffee in the late 18th Century. Since that time, coffee plantations have remained an important aspect of the cultural heritage of Costa Ricans. The bounty it has yielded throughout generations has brought families and neighbors together in what was traditionally a community effort and ritual up to the very roasting and enjoyment of these delicious berries.

Costa Rica, Coffee Plant.imgYou too can enjoy and preserve the local heritage of this agricultural tradition by maintaining your own part of the generations old plantation at Altos Los Cafetales. When grown in shade, coffee helps to preserve the native flora and fauna and in Costa Rica, in particular, coffee is an ecologically friendly crop as it requires no irrigation, as demanded in other drought prone parts of the world, and can be sustained organically.

Costa Rica, Coffee Beans.imgThis excellent feature at Altos Los Cafetales provides a great potential for a relaxing hobby or small business with your personal signature. We also offer the option of managing your coffee while still leaving you with a percentage of it's profits which can be applied towards your care taker's salary or if you prefer a fun excursion to the beach.

"Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine!" - "Coffee Cantata", J.S. Bach

 

Insight on Costa Rica

Costa Rica, San Jose Downtown.imgCosta Rica is a highly sought after destination not only for the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit annually, but for a multitude of people from around the world who have chosen Costa Rica as their new home, for part or even year round.
Many factors contribute to Costa Rica attracting so much attention. At the top of the list is Costa Rica's prosperous economy and long standing stable democratic government which has no military and promotes a peaceful neutrality which has long stood as a model for Central America. In addition, foreigners are genuinely welcomed by the warm, friendly Costa Rican locals, commonly referred to as "Ticos."

Costa Rica's tropical climate and mountainous terrain combined with its ocean shores create microclimates for all preferences. In particular, the higher elevations in and surrounding the Central Valley boast spring like temperatures year round. The beauty of nature with sweeping views in all directions make Costa Rica an unforgettable destination, and those lucky enough to live here enjoy a serene lifestyle that is increasingly harder to come by in other parts of this fast paced world.

Costa Rica, Matapalo Beach.imgImagine your life in Costa Rica, with a beautiful home surrounded by lush tropical gardens and breathtaking views with countless adventures just outside your door. Whether it be an exotic getaway to the thermal waters of a majestic volcano, a weekend at a gorgeous pristine beach, or just a fun day in the city taking in theater, fabulous shopping and world-class restaurants, there is simply no whim that can't be satisfied living in Costa Rica.

 

Santiago de Puriscal

A hidden gem in the western mountains of Costa Rica

Puriscal - A Hidden Gem in Costa RicaThe beautiful county of Puriscal is located within the province of San José, just one hour South West from the capital city San José. There are eight districts within this county with altitudes ranging from 430 to 1,160 meters above sea level. Interspersed throughout picturesque mountains, these districts host many charming communities each with their own church, football field, typical restaurants and pulperias (convenience stores). In all, these communities comprise a total population of roughly 30,000 inhabitants including hundreds of expatriates from around the world.

The main business center, Santiago, sits at an altitude of 1,105 m above sea level and while is retains its small town appeal, it offers all services including three grocery stores, several hardware stores, major banks, quality doctors and dentists, pharmacies, skilled beauticians, charming boutiques, excellent restaurants and even a little taste of nightlife.
The recent opening of a full service emergency hospital in Puriscal is a major asset to the community. You will rest easy knowing that this modern facility is just minutes away. Other state and world renowned private hospitals are also accessible in about 40 minutes. As well, more specialized shopping and entertainment found in Escazú and Santa Ana are quickly accessible making day excursions to more bustling areas fun and easy.

Santiago de Puriscal old landmarkOutside of the bustling center, the outlying areas offer a nostalgic charm and the heart of the rural culture of Costa Rica. Driving down any given road, you are sure to pass cowboys on horses, happy cows grazing in green pastures and busy chickens scratching about in tidy gardens.
Many rural traditions are preserved such as the use of oxen and their colorful carts, small sugar mills or "trapiches", coffee plantations and the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
Puriscaleños work hard at producing and put just as much energy in to celebrating. Jovial festivities are hosted annually in each and every community. Dancing, games, great food and a colorful display of fireworks bring everyone to the streets. The biggest festivities in Puriscal also feature an impressive rodeo, and traditional horse ride (cabalgata) that attracts riders from around the country.
