Orotina is
smack in the middle of the new
action
in Costa Rica.
It couldn't have been planned more
strategically!
It is 25 minutes from the Pacific Beaches
about 30 minutes from San Jose with all it's
fine restaurants, shopping, world class
health care, very high quality dentistry and
much more.

Getting to
Orotina....
From San Jose, get on the new highway
linking tot he Pacific at St Santa Ana and
in 25 minutes you will arrive to Orotina.
Least crime....
According to
local newspaper "VueltaEnU", Orotina
ranks third on the list of towns with less
crime nationwide, followed by his neighbor
town San Mateo. It is a very safe place to
live, the people are friendly and everybody
knows each other. unlike like in the big
cities where you don't know your neighbor's
first name
Some facts about
Orotina...
It measures 88,581 square miles, with a
population of 18,000 people.
It is 750 ft above the sea level, with an
annual precipitation between 1500 and 2000
mm and an average temperature between 70ºF
to 90ºF. That means you get a warm climate,
but with enough rain to keep the vegetation
green through the year. In summer feels like
being on the beach, hot enough but with a
nice breeze.
Small town still...
Even though it is still consider a small
town, it has developed a lot in the last
couples of years. There is everything you
need: big supermarkets, hardware stores,
pharmacies,
clothing stores, banks, bars and a big
variety of independent businesses. Even a
Tropical Park only 15 minutes away which
offers canopy tour, rappel, aerial trams,
butterfly garden and
horseback riding
just to name a few.
(Maybe what's missing is a movie
theater and
high cuisine restaurants) |
