Santa Lucía de los Glos is a small town in the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica, located in the northwestern part of the Central Valley, in the region of the Sierra de los Glos. The area is about 1,000 meters above sea level and is known for its cool climate, dense cloud forests and rich biodiversity.
Surrounding the town is the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers, inhabited by more than 300 species of birds such as hummingbirds and quetzals. The local economy is based on sustainable agriculture and ecotourism, and visitors can experience coffee plantation tours, waterfall hikes and canopy suspension bridge adventures.
St. Lucia de los Aguilas retains a traditional Costa Rican rural culture and is located about 1.5 hours from the capital city of San José, an important stopover on the way to the Volcanoes National Park in the north. Its name "de los" means "land of sheep", reflecting the historical development of animal husbandry.
