Orosi

Orosi is the name of a beatiful vally on the central plateau near San José.
The name comes from spanish "oro - sí" (which means "gold - yes") because the first spanish colonists found gold in this vally. Today there is no more gold but a wonderful landscape.

This is the ruin of the oldest cathlic church in this country. It was built in1580 buy the first missionaries which came to christionize and colonize the "New World".
