From San Jose get the highway to Cartago and keep on to Paraiso Town. Once you have reached Paraiso follow the signs to Orosi Valley and Cachi Dam. On the way you will see the Basilica de los Angeles and many touristical stores where you can find very useful information. The first tram of the road is very fast, then from Paraiso to Orosi, the way must be taken with care. The view of the valley is amazing all the way. Then you will have the opportunity to see from a long distance the lake of Cachi, the one that provides the water to generate electricity to all the country. Do not worry, all the road is paved and accesible all year around.
