Cachí Lake is an artificial reservoir in Costa Rica, set in the Orosi Valley of Central America. It was formed by the Cachí Dam, and the water serves a hydroelectric purpose as well as offering a quiet place for visitors to spend time outdoors.

What the visit is like

The lake is surrounded by green mountains and coffee plantations, and its calm surface reflects the surrounding landscape. For many visitors, the appeal is simply the view, whether seen from the shore or from the road that follows the lake's edge.

Those who want to do more can enjoy:

  • Boating on the water

  • Fishing

  • Scenic drives along the perimeter of the lake

Getting the most from a trip

Because the lake sits in a valley of farmland and forested hills, it suits a slower pace than a city visit. Travelers who enjoy unhurried landscapes, time on the water, or a drive with frequent stops will likely find it rewarding. Visitors interested in the wider area can combine a stop here with other destinations in the Orosi Valley, and check locally for current conditions on boating and fishing before setting out.
