Restaurante el Mirador Naranjo

---

Here is a description I found of beautiful Naranjo: "Set at the base of the Espírito Santo Hills in Costa Rica’s gorgeous Central Valley, the area surrounding the town is stippled with farms growing all kinds of crops– plantains, corn, tapioca, coffee, rice, beans, sugar cane, tobacco, and beef, to name a few. The coffee plantations are perhaps the best represented, and plantation tours are becoming increasingly popular among tourists. This fertile area is drained by the Grande Colorado, Molino, Barranca, and El Espino rivers, and, at an elevation of 3,398 feet (1,036 meters), the temperature is a consistently cool 68° F (20° C)."

The coffee here is supposed to be incredible, and we went to a breakfast stop on the way up with a breathtaking view to give it a try. My rice and vegetables with hot chocolate were delicious, and Sean had a more traditional meal of queso, café con leche, meat, rice and beans.
