Orotina is located in Alajuela province lying in the lush and green Central Valley of Costa Rica. Orotina is known as the fruit town and with good reason. It is renowned throughout the country for its unbelievable abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. For the last 18 years Orotina has hosted the National Fruit Festival. The festivities usually begin the later part of March every year. Thousands of Ticos and tourists flock to Orotina for this fruit themed festival.

Farmers are carefully selected to participate due to the quality of their fruit and their eco- friendly farming techniques. There is music, concerts, food and drink for all to enjoy!

Orotina has a population of 8,550 and lies at an elevation of 229 meters above sea level in a relatively flat section on the west side of the costal mountain range. It is a mere 26 kilometers northeast of the Pacific Ocean and 66 kilometers from the national capital city of San Jose. With the new autopista (Caretera Caldera) almost completed the commute times will be greatly reduced and Orotina is the perfect location for those who enjoy rural living with proximity to the Central Pacific beaches and larger cities.

In the center of town, directly across from the church, is a beautiful park, lush with palms and other interesting mature trees. It is a popular and safe place for people to gather, relax, talk and possibly have a fiesta or concert in the pavilion. There is a small train station in town that is now open on week-ends. The train runs directly through Orotina going from San Jose to Caldera. The train ride is a huge attraction among the Costa Ricans and is a unique experience and fun experience that everyone should enjoy! Another great attraction that is very close (only 7 km away) is TURUBARI Tropical Park. It is an eco-adventure theme park that boasts bird watching, hiking, zip lines and more.

Isabelle and Howard Jones fell in love with Costa Rica and Atenas in particular when they first visited the country in 1991. They fulfilled their dream/goal by making her home in Atenas in January, 2003 from Colorado, U.S.A. Atenas is located halfway between San Jose and the Costa Rica Central Pacific Beaches.

When they looked to buy property they quickly found that a full service professional realtor for the Atenas area was really the only thing missing to make their move easier. After searching for the right way for over a year, they decided to become the American European Real Estate Group's affiliate for the Atenas area, since that would give them the opportunity to master the difficulties of real estate in Costa Rica. Howard & Isabelle have over 15 years of property/casualty insurance and computer sales.

Isabelle and Howard sell real estate in Atenas, Orotina and Desmonte.
They speak English, Polish and are pretty fluent in Spanish. Of course they are supported by the other real estate offices in the group for anything they or their clients might need.

Isabelle and Howard expect to go the extra mile for all of those who plan to make Atenas and adjoining areas their new home, contact them now if you would like a tour of their real estate listings for sale.
