Description organization

Since 1942, the Turrialba valley has been home to the campus headquarters of a Center for Research and Higher Education to Tropical Agriculture, housing some of the most important plant collections in the Americas. The majority of the Center’s collections are located in the Botanical Garden, a 45 hectare farm that maintains nearly 4,400 genetic samples— representing more than 280 species from around the world.The park draws from the Center's  70 years of scientific research and hands-on experience in agrobiodiversity, focused on improved human well-being and environmental protection. The botanical garden is an interactive experience based on the Center's scientific work to create sustainable agroproductive systems and promote the sustainability of natural resources. The result is a dynamic and participative adventure that is fun for all. Here, you can learn about a breathtaking variety of tropical fruits, medicinal, oil-producing and ornamental plants, roots, tubers and timber trees. The botanical garden is made up by a touroperator, a farm with cows including a milk factory, seedbank and many hectares of agricultural production and a botanical garden where tourists can participate in guided tours.
