About Central Valley:
Costa Rica’s Central Valley is a relatively flat, but surrounded by several mountains and the Poas, Barva, Irazu and Turrialba volcanoes.

The entire valley and surrounding mountains cover 11,366 square kilometers which is more than a fifth of the country’s total area, yet it is home to three quarters of the country’s residents.

This early concentration of the population eventually lead to the Central Valley becoming the center of commerce, industry and service activities in Costa Rica. Ports on each coasts provide goods and services to the valley, which is also home to the Juan Santamaria International Airport.
