La Lima Free Zone and Business Park is a state-of-the-art industrial park and business center with a decade of operations. Located in Cartago, east of San Jose, the capital city, La Lima Free Zone is one of the most important parks in the country. It is part of the robust portfolio of the renowned Costa Rican real estate developer, Garnier & Garnier.
What sets us apart is our community ecosystem of cooperation within the park and the availability of a labor pool right next to the park. Today, 8,500 people work in the companies established at the park, with 85% of them live in Cartago. In addition, Cartago is home to the best engineering university TEC, located close to the park and offers the 10 most 10 careers.
What began as an ambitious vision for industrial development in Cartago has evolved into a business park that now hosts 17 multinational companies from six different countries. In 2014, these companies exported USD $0.4 million, and a decade later, they have accumulated USD $4.577 billion in exports. In 2024 alone, ZFLL generated USD $1.478 billion in exports, accounting for 7.3% of the country's total goods exports. Looking ahead, ZFLL aims to double its impact in the coming years.
We invite you to join the most vibrant free zone business community in Costa Rica.
