The city was of San Marcos founded by Spanish immigrants looking for gold in the 1860s. Instead of gold, they discovered a rich highland valley where fine coffee grew in ideal climate conditions. Its geography is suited to growing coffee, mostly because the slopes of the mountains face the morning light and the cloud cover protects the coffee trees in the afternoon. The red soil found in the valley is of volcanic origin. All this plus the altitude make ideal conditions to grow the coffees harvested by locals.

Coffee from the Tarrazu region is one of the world's greatest coffees with its light, clean flavor and wonderful fragrance.
