Travel Guide Paraíso

The small town of Paraiso, 8 kilometers south of Cartago, has about 20,000 inhabitants. On your way from San José, you will inevitably pass through it on your way to the beautiful Orosi Valley. It is a town that is very committed to the preservation of the environment and actively collaborates with national organizations for the preservation of the local fauna and flora. Not far from there, 15 minutes away, take the time to visit the ruins of Ujarrás. They are a testimony to the first Catholic church in Costa Rica, built in the 17th century during the colonial era, which was then an important place of pilgrimage
