Send Flowers to Paraíso, Costa Rica

Paraíso means paradise, and for orchid lovers the name fits: the Lankester Botanical Garden, run by the Universidad de Costa Rica on the road between Cartago and Paraíso, holds one of the most important orchid collections in the region. The national flower, the purple guaria morada orchid, blooms in the first months of the year.

The town is a few kilometres east of Cartago and marks the entrance to the Orosi valley, a green basin of coffee farms, rivers and hot springs that includes the colonial church of Orosi and the ruins of Ujarrás. Life is quiet and family-centred, and the climate is cool and damp. Flower delivery in Paraíso serves the town and nearby communities; the address should include landmarks, distances and a phone number. Order before 11:00 am local time for same-day delivery, Monday to Saturday, or expect delivery the next day. Sundays are not delivery days. Around 2 August, when the pilgrimage to the basilica in Cartago takes place, roads in the area are very busy.
