Reventazón District


Reventazón is a district of the Siquirres canton, in the Limón province of Costa Rica.

History

The town of Reventazón is mentioned in 1887 as "a point about 40 miles from Limon". A 50 mile-long railway line, "the Reventazon line", is due to link it to Cartago, passing through a rich countryside noted for its sugar-cane and with valuable copper mines as yet not open for the lack of even a mule track. That line is to have 45 large bridges and 88 small ones; among those is the 600 ft-long Birriz viaduct with four spans of 150 feet each, resting on iron columns, and in some places 200 feet above the water. James Livesey and Son are chief engineers for the railway.
Reventazón District was created on 16 October 2018 by Decreto Ejecutivo N°040-2018-MGP.
