Cartago

Province of Costa Rica; area 10,439 sq km/4,030 sq mi; population (1996) 378,200. The western part lies on the country's central plateau, the Meseta Central, while the eastern part lies on the slopes of the Talamanca range of mountains. Cartago is the capital. It is a fertile agricultural area, with stock rearing, dairy farming, and some coffee growing. The province is served by the Inter-American Highway.

The climate is temperate, though in the east the rainfall is high. The semi-active volcano of Turrialba (3,366 m/11,043 ft) is in the extreme north of Cartago.
