A village on the Avocado Mountains foot (at level of 229 metres). Its name has something to do with the Indian Cacique Gurutina. It`s destinguished by vast next-to-church square with old trees and very steep, narrow streets. A few kilometres east of that there is a 400-ha park Iguanaestablished by German biologist, set in tropical forest. Orotina is also a projecting site of the airport that will someday serve Puntarenas. In 1522 the vicinity of Orotina was explored by Gonzalez Davila.
