Heredia, 1905
 

 

El beneficio de café de la familia León. En el año 1905, se acababa de instalar una nueva tecnología, cargando los granos secos de café a las carretas por medio de la fuerza de gravedad. Desde el beneficio, se llevaba el café a la puesta aduanera en La Garita de Alajuela para luego ser embarcado en Puntarenas. Todo este viaje se hacía con carretas jaladas por bueyes, lo que tomaba varios días. The coffee processing plant of the León family. In 1905 a new technique was introduced to load the dry coffee beans onto the wagons using the force of gravity. The coffee beans were transported from the processing plant to the customs facility at La Garita de Alajuela and from there they were taken to Puntarenas harbour. The whole trip was made by oxcart and took several days.
