The office is centrally located in the town of Puerto Viejo and will serve as visitor’s information center for travelers in the Heredia/Sarapiquí region. CATUSA provides information on accommodations, restaurants, and activities, as well as general information on the region of Sarapiquí. We spoke with Johana Arguello, President of CATUSA, to hear her thoughts on this groundbreaking accomplishment:

“The opening of the 'Management Center for Sustainable Tourism of Sarapíquí' is an important step for the tourism business sector of the cantón, as well as for the entire commercial sector in general, that has a direct and indirect relationship with tourism. CATUSA, entity in charge of the administration of the management center, has as vision to continue positioning tourism in a strong way, to work in trainings and offer the Sarapiqueño new opportunities so that it can be part of a very dynamic sector that continues to grow and that is the driving force that impels the canton and the country to improve the quality of life of their communities.”
