Three LANDSAT 8 images were used, which were used together to make the final classification, the classification was validated, the final map of the classification for the Tarrazú canton was elaborated and for the San Marcos, San Lorenzo districts And San Carlos. At the Tarrazú canton level the coverage with the largest area was the secondary forest, which covered 31.5% (9414.9 ha) of the canton. Mature forest, secondary forest, pasture and perennial (coffee) cultivation had a greater presence in the district of San Lorenzo.
