The
Cachí (Represa de Cachí) dam is located in the course of the Reventazón River,
specifically in the Ujarrás Valley, near the town of Cachí (Cartago province).
The first unit of the hydroelectric plant, managed by the Costa Rican
Electricity Institute (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, ICE), came
into operation on May 7, 1966, and the second, on January 12, 1967. The dam
forms a reservoir, known as Lago de Cachí, 3.24 km2
