AUTOR/AUTHOR: LUIS NAVARRO<br />

Desde las imponentes montañas azules y las<br />

aguas cristalinas que las rodean, el Valle del<br />

Chirripó ofrece a los residentes y visitantes<br />

de la zona una experiencia llena de paz,<br />

tranquilidad, hermosas vistas y una conexión<br />

directa con la naturaleza.<br />

A tan solo diez kilómetros del centro de San<br />

Isidro, Pérez Zeledón, el distrito de Rivas<br />

se divide geográficamente en tres sectores:<br />

Sector Buena Vista, Central y Chirripó, este<br />

último conformado por las comunidades de<br />

San Gerardo, Canaán, Chimirol, Herradura,<br />

Los Ángeles, Guadalupe, San Francisco,<br />

Talari, San José y Monterrey.<br />

La zona se ha caracterizado por ser una ruta<br />

de productos artesanales, hechos por gente<br />

emprendedora y luchadora, por esta razón se<br />

ofrecen muchos diferentes atractivos para<br />

niños y adultos.<br />

Dar un paseo por este lugar no solo lo<br />

recarga de buena energía y felicidad, sino<br />

también es un regalo para el alma el apreciar<br />

tan hermosas vistas. La diversidad en<br />

atractivos es fascinante, se puede disfrutar<br />

desde el recién inaugurado Mariposario<br />

Butterfly Kingdom <strong>Costa</strong> <strong>Rica</strong>, trucheros,<br />

aguas termales, quesos suizos, fábrica<br />

de chocolates, hasta deliciosos panes<br />

artesanales, restaurantes que ofrecen una<br />

gastronomía única, hoteles, senderos y<br />

avistamientos de aves, por supuesto sin<br />

dejar de lado el principal atractivo de la zona,<br />

el mismo Cerro Chirripó.<br />

Con 3820 mtrs de altura es este el cerro<br />

más alto y maravilloso de <strong>Costa</strong> <strong>Rica</strong>, donde<br />

la flora y la fauna lo abrazan cada kilómetro,<br />

es un lugar para encontrarse a uno mismo y<br />

demostrar la fortaleza mental y física, es un<br />

reto constante mientras se da cada paso para<br />

alcanzar la altura máxima. Una experiencia<br />

inimaginable, en donde las palabras no<br />

alcanzan para describir tanta belleza y en<br />

donde la experimentación es la única forma<br />

de explicarlo.<br />

CONTACT: Luis Navarro - luisnael@hotmail.com<br />

Por esto y muchísimas razones más, el<br />

Valle del Chirripó debería ser una visita casi<br />

obligatoria para todos los costarricenses<br />

y extranjeros que visitan el país atraídos<br />

por la biodiversidad y la tranquilidad de las<br />

montañas.<br />

The Chirripo<br />

VALLEY<br />

From the imposing blue mountains <strong>and</strong> the<br />

crystal clear waters that surround them, the<br />

Chirripó Valley offers residents <strong>and</strong> visitors<br />

of the area an experience full of peace,<br />

tranquility, beautiful views <strong>and</strong> a direct<br />

connection with nature.<br />

Just ten kilometers from the center of San<br />

Isidro, Pérez Zeledón, the Rivas district is<br />

geographically divided into three sectors:<br />

Buena Vista, Central <strong>and</strong> Chirripó sectors,<br />

the latter formed by the communities of San<br />

Gerardo, Canaán, Chimirol, Herradura, Los<br />

Angeles, Guadalupe, San Francisco, Talari,<br />

San José <strong>and</strong> Monterrey.<br />

The area has been characterized as a route<br />

of h<strong>and</strong>made products, made by enterprising<br />

<strong>and</strong> struggling people, for this reason, that<br />

many different attractions for children <strong>and</strong><br />

adults are offered.<br />

Taking a walk through this place not only<br />

recharges you with good energy <strong>and</strong><br />

happiness, but it is also a gift for the soul to<br />

appreciate such beautiful views. The diversity<br />

in attractions is fascinating. You can enjoy<br />

from the newly opened Butterfly Kingdom,<br />

fresh trout, hot springs, Swiss cheeses,<br />

chocolate factory, to delicious artisan bread.<br />

Restaurants offer unique cuisine, hotels,<br />

trails <strong>and</strong> birdwatching. Of course, without<br />

neglecting the main attraction of the area,<br />

the famous Chirripó Hill.<br />

With 3820 meters high, this is the highest<br />

<strong>and</strong> most beautiful mountain in <strong>Costa</strong> <strong>Rica</strong>.<br />

Flora <strong>and</strong> fauna embrace it every kilometer.<br />

It is a place to find oneself <strong>and</strong> demonstrate<br />

mental <strong>and</strong> physical strength. It is a constant<br />

challenge while taking step after step to reach<br />

the maximum height <strong>and</strong> an unbelievable<br />

experience. Words are not enough to describe<br />

so much beauty, <strong>and</strong> experimentation is the<br />

only way to explain it.<br />

For this <strong>and</strong> many other reasons, the Chirripó<br />

Valley should be an almost obligatory visit<br />

for all <strong>Costa</strong> <strong>Rica</strong>ns <strong>and</strong> foreigners who visit<br />

the country attracted by the biodiversity <strong>and</strong><br />

tranquility of the mountains.
