Montana Azul is a family business founded by Victor Arias and wife Maria Benavides. The company specializes in producing, growing and exporting high-added value foods. Currently the Arias family is involved in the operations. Based in Costa Rica the food processing plant is located within the farms in the region of Horquetas de Sarapiqui northern plains of the country, Atlantic side. The company is directly related to three generations of this family. So to tell the story is impossible not to mention grandparents Victor Arias and Crisanto Benavides who arrived at the region of Sarapiquí in the 19th century. It was in the 1920s that the farms started their livestock projects in the area. In those years traveling to the north from the capital, took about 8 hours, crossing rivers and mountains on stoned roads. This is how it was established the first colony in the Horquetas, by immigrants like them who promoted the local economy.
