La Virgen

 
Overview

La Virgen is the name of the district number 2 of the Sarapiquí, which in turn belongs to the province of Heredia in Costa Rica.

Description

Tucked into the densely jungled shores of the wild and scenic Río Sarapiquí, La Virgen was one of the small towns that prospered during the heyday of the banana trade. Although United Fruit has long since shipped out, the town remains dependent on its nearby pineapple fields. And it still lives by that river.
