San Vito is situated at 980m/3,214ft above sea level in Fila Costeña, one of the coastal mountain ranges of the southern region. Surrounded by mountains, San Vito is a good town for birding and offers a cool climate. The town has a population of about 10,000.
Post-war Italian immigrants founded San Vito in the early 1950s. The town still has a strong sense of its cultural roots, and Italian can be heard spoken in the streets. Some of Costa Rica's best Italian restaurants are found in San Vito.
San Vito also has a large concentration of indigenous peoples. Guayami Indians, a nomadic group moving undisturbed in Costa Rica and Panama, are known to enter San Vito in traditional dress.
