Orosí is a village in Costa Rica, about 30km south-east of the capital San José. It is one of the few colonial towns to survive Costa Rica's frequent earthquakes, with one of the oldest churches in the country (early 18th century), although it consists mostly of modern buildings. It lies in a valley that is largely dedicated to the cultivation of coffee.

Around and closeby
A few kilometres away, at the southern end of the valley, the road ends and the Parque Nacional Tapantí Macizo Cerro de la Muerte begins. This park covers about 600 km2 and forms the northernmost section of a massive collection of nature parks that extends into Panamá (the largest of which is the Parque Internacional La Amistad). As a result wildlife abounds. However, access is difficult and largely restricted, apart from a few kilometres of easy trails. The abundance of birds makes it a popular place for ornithology. Part of the reason for the abundant growth is the heavy rainfall.

Sightseeing
Balneario de Aguas Termales is a thermal water pool, the water is clean and hot and there are changing rooms.
