San Jose Costa Rica

San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, has a very different feel than most of Latin America with a lot more American influenced architecture and a Mediterranean climate. San Jose is a town in the heart of nature. Situated in the Central Valley, the city is surrounded by the most diverse forms of wildlife as well as the volcanos, Poás and Irazú. It's also the central point from where you can reach the country’s rich National Parks, its stunning beaches, its incredible rivers and its untouched mountains. San José has certain attractions of its own like the National Theatre, the Central Market, the National Museum or the Metropolitan Cathedral. Moreover, its friendly people give a lively feel to the city, something you can appreciate in the city’s many restaurants and bars. Some museums and buildings reveal their colonial past and European artistic influences. San Jose also has much to offer and it is a city of great historical and cultural significance.
