Porrosatí brings together specific themes related to plant cultivation, forest regeneration, and agriculture. The Bosque Vivo Greenhouse focuses on trees and shrubs from higher elevations; forest has been regenerated at Finca Los Bambinos, and the farm produces milk. These areas of focus belong to different fields: plants are grown, forests are restored, and milk is produced. If you take nature and agriculture into account when planning your trip, this distinction offers a concrete starting point for choosing a location.
Tree cultivation at the Bosque Vivo Greenhouse
The Bosque Vivo Greenhouse in Porrosatí is Costa Rica’s first greenhouse dedicated to trees and shrubs from higher elevations. It has space for approximately 5,000 trees in planting bags, as well as additional plants in the germination section. The growing process involves collecting seeds and germinating them, transplanting seedlings into planting bags, and then caring for the trees and shrubs. The capacity figure and the work stages complement each other: one describes the approximate number of trees in planting bags, while the others describe the path from germination to care. This combination of a focus on plants, scale, and process gives tree care in Porrosatí a concrete form.
Forest regeneration at Finca Los Bambinos
Forest has been regenerated on the property of Finca Los Bambinos in Porrosatí. A 2022 article states that this area covers four hectares, or 15 percent of the property. The regenerated area is close to the boundary of Braulio Carrillo National Park. Among the species planted for the regeneration were aguacatillos, roble, damas, higueras, chirimuelo, coquito, cacho de venado, and guacamayo. Four hectares describes the area, while 15 percent indicates its share of the property; the two figures offer different scales for the same forest. Its proximity to the park boundary places the regenerated area geographically. Unlike the greenhouse, the focus here is on the area, its share of the property, and examples of plants.
Milk production as another agricultural connection
Finca Los Bambinos has been producing milk for 57 years in Porrosatí de San José de la Montaña in Heredia. This adds an agricultural production activity alongside forest regeneration. The two topics are measured differently: forest regeneration is made tangible through area, share of the property, and examples of plants, while milk production is described in terms of its duration. For a travel decision based on interests in nature and agriculture, these are different points of reference, even though both topics relate to Finca Los Bambinos.
