The Terraba River is one of the longest rivers in Costa Rica, flowing approximately 145 kilometers. It originates in the Talamanca Mountains and travels through diverse ecosystems, including tropical rainforests and wetlands, before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The river is vital for local communities, providing water for agriculture and fishing. The Terraba River is also significant for its biodiversity, supporting various species of flora and fauna. It is home to several indigenous groups, including the Bribri and Cabécar, who rely on the river for their livelihoods and cultural practices. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this important natural resource.
