The story
Feria del Cafe de Poas in San Pedro de Poas
San Pedro de Poas, part of a historic Central Valley coffee-growing canton established in 1901 on the volcanic slopes below Poas Volcano, hosts a recurring Feria del Cafe following the standard Costa Rican coffee-fair format of tastings and grower stalls, though specific founding year, dates and program details are thinly documented compared to larger national coffee events.
San Pedro de Poas sits within one of Costa Rica's historically significant coffee-growing districts, part of a canton established in 1901 that benefited from the same late nineteenth-century coffee and sugar-cane boom that shaped the wider western Central Valley around Grecia and Alajuela province, on the fertile volcanic slopes below Poas Volcano.
