Aguas Zarcas is a district of the San Carlos canton, in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica.[1][2]

Toponymy

The name of Aguas Zarcas, comes from the hot spring waters that could well be called "Aguas de azul suave".

History

From 1800, Germans, Italians and Spaniards formed the ancestors of Aguas Zarcas, the same ones that founded the Spanish colony.

Its colonizers were in charge of carrying out bites in the mountain to facilitate the arrival to the inhabitants that came from Villa Quesada looking for a place where to live.

Geography

Aguas Zarcas has an area of 185.86 km2[3] making it the eighth district of the canton by area and an elevation of 489 metres.[1]

It is located at an elevation range of 100 to 2100 meters above sea level.[4]

This great variation of altitude is due to the fact that in the South of the district are the mountain foothills of the Central Mountain Range, whereas in a northerly direction, the territory follows a clear descent towards the plains of San Carlos.

It is located in the northern region of the country. It borders the districts of Cutris to the north, La Palmera to the west, Pital and Venice to the east. While to the south it borders with the canton of Sarchí.

Its head, the city of Aguas Zarcas, from where it has an excellent view of the hills of the Juan Castro Blanco National Park, is located 16.6 km (30 minutes) NE of Quesada, and 88.4 km (2 hours 20 minutes) to the NW of San José the capital of the nation.
