About the Book

SIQUIRRES, CANTON CENTENARIO, es un tributo a esta tierra, verdadero diafragma de la Provincia de Limon, por su situacion geografica limitrofe de una variedad de cantones y su economia dinamica. Siquirres ocupa un lugar importante en el proceso de construccion del ferrocarril, fundamental en el desarrollo de la economia costarricense. La poblacion indigena inicial, fue parcialmente absorbida por los trabajadores afrodescendientes y chinos, constructores del ferrocarril y del pueblo. Mas a traves de los anos, la poblacion se fue diversificando, hasta convertir el Canton en el crisol etnico que es hoy. Este origen tan diverso ha producido una gran riqueza cultural notable en el Pais. Siquirres posee una economia dinamica, de base agricola, destacandose la produccion de banano y pina; con un importante aporte del turismo de aventura y una floreciente actividad agro-industrial y comercial y unos paisajes deslumbrantes que van desde las tierras altas de la Cordillera de Talamanca, hasta las bajas de las costas que la integran a la Barra y a Parismina. SIQUIRRES, CANTON CENTENARIO es un texto de consulta para el habitante, un exquisito recuerdo para el siquirrenos en diaspora y un gran suvenir para los turistas. Con este libro la Municipalidad de Siquirres destaca los cien anos de existencia del Canton. -------------------------------------------------------------- SIQUIRRES, CENTENIAL CANTON, is a tribute to this land, true diaphragm of the Province of Limon, both by its geographical position bordering with a variety of cantons and for its dynamic economy. Siquirres emerges as an important location in the process of construction of the railroad, instrumental in the development of the Costa Rican economy. The original indigenous population was partially absorbed by the workers of African and Chinese descent who were the builders of the railroad and the town. But over the years, the population has diversified, converting the Canton into the ethnic melting pot that it is today. This diverse origin has produced a remarkable cultural wealth in the country. Siquirres has a dynamic economy, agricultural base, emphasizing the production of banana and pineapple; with an important adventure-tourism contribution and a thriving agro-industrial and commercial activity, with stunning landscapes ranging from the highlands of the Cordillera de Talamanca, to the lowlands of the coasts that integrate it to the Bar and to Parismina. SIQUIRRES, CENTENNIAL CANTON is a text of consultation for the inhabitants, an exquisite keepsake for the siquirrenos in diaspora and a great souvenir for tourists. With this book the Municipality of Siquirres highlights 100 years of existence of the Canton."
