Economy
The economic activity of Mogote is based on agriculture (kidney beans, onions, and sugarcane), and on livestock and dairy industry.
Thanks to the energy-producing potential of the Miravalles, the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) started a geothermal project in the region, which brought employment opportunities. Something new in this area is the Eolic Power; more than 25 wind turbines were installed.
Nowadays, the area's commerce and tourism industries have developed rapidly, taking advantage of the potential offered by the use of thermal waters, horseback riding, and canopy tours.
