Cipreses

Cipreses occupies elevated agricultural land in Costa Rica’s Cartago Province, on the eastern side of the Central Valley. Fields and small settlements spread across rolling ground south of Irazú Volcano, whose fertile volcanic soils have long supported intensive farming in this highland province. The air is generally cooler here than on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, a contrast that shapes daily life in Cartago’s interior. Cartago, the provincial capital, served as Costa Rica’s capital until 1823 and remains a major destination for the annual pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels.
