My Region

The northern zone is composed of the following cantons San Carlos, northern San Ramon  (Peñas Blancas), Los Chiles, Guatuso and Upala.

I live in Northern San Ramon, although I was born in Ciudad Quesada, San Carlos.

Features:

The climate in some parts of the year is rainy, and then the rest of the year is sunny and humid.

Among the main attractions:  Fortuna area and surroundings , is the Arenal volcano and lake, where the water of this lake is used for electricity production, there are a variety of mountains, some of them we find hot springs, very attractive to tourists, who come to vacation and stay at the many hotels that are in the area, this is one of the main sources of income. 

Another site I found attractive in Canton Guatuso is the Celeste river one of the most unique places in the country.

Further north in Los Chiles  we can find  wildlife refuges where ‘‘Caño Negro ’’ like Fortuna area is an attraction for tourists.

The production of sugar cane and pineapple among others, and livestock purposes of milk and meat are some major activities in the area.

                        

The disadvantages include the limited source of labor, poverty 

The advantages are: agricultural production areas and various tourist attractions
