The church of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes is a Catholic temple and parish in Costa Rica that is located in the city of Grecia, in the province of Alajuela, in the west of the country. It is a building built in the year 1840, dedicated for Catholic worship in that population, to the Virgin Mary under the invocation of Our Lady of Mercedes. It is a neo-Gothic style construction, built entirely of iron. It is the country's national monument.

On this route you can enjoy nature, the bridge that fell down when you leave the asphalt road that goes to Alajuela Carrizal, take a left and there is a bridge that fell, you pass the bridge carefully and follow the path , you pass a gate on one side and continue to go out to Pavas de Carrizal, in the left square and you enter passing through one side of the gate, follow the path until you reach a river, cross carefully and continue following the right trail. it passes through two gates that are passing an asphalt road and continue following the route and exit at five corners of Carrizal. It is preferable to lower the route for a better location.
