The area we want to share with you is known as 'Valle Bajos del Toro Amarillo'. This small valley is hiding behind the Poás Volcán. The presence of this impressive active volcano is always there. 

Altitude is between 1.600 meters in the south and 1.100 in the north, over a length of maximum 10 km. The surrounding mountains are covered with primary and secundary forest and open fields. On the east side you will find 'Parc Nacional Poás Volcán' and in the west is located, the unexplored, unknown but very important, 'Parc Nacional Juan Castro Blanco'. 

Amount of inhabitants maximum 300 (!). The weather is a healthy and cool year round. 
Security level is high.

Entering the valley from the south, which is19 km. north of Sarchi, you will find on the right side the 5 star hotel El Silencio and on the left side hotel Bosque de Paz. After the little village Bajos del Toro Amarillo the valley continues for another 8 km north where it ends after Quebrada Gata 2km north of our Catarata Del Toro. 

Driving time from San José 120 minutes, airport Alajuela 90 minutes, Grecia 60 minutes, Sarchi 45 minutes, Puerto Viejo de Saripiqui 70 minutes, San Carlos 60 minutes and La Fortuna (Arenal) 75 minutes.

This Valley is completely unspoiled and ready to be discovered by people who care about and love nature. 

Why this valley is still so pure? We do not know, but we enjoy every day living there.
