ABOUT San Jose

San Jose, the country’s capital, is located in the earth of the Central Valley in the middle f the country, at ~3700 ft (1120 msnm) elevation. Surrounded by mountains and majestuous volcanoes (Poas, Barva, Irazu which peak is at 11 300 ft/3430 mts), the city offers a perfect weather year round, like eternal spring (but quite wet between May and November). As a capital, San Jose offers many gourmet restaurants, shopping malls, great healthcare and all corporate services. Many activities can be operated from San Jose, like visiting volcanoes, coffee tours, aerial tram and other. However, we recommend to better spend the first night if necessary, and then leaving to your next destination (like Tortuguero, la Fortuna, Monteverde, Osa/Corcovado) and if possible, take an activity on the way, such as a visit to la Paz Waterfall and Gardens and/or a coffee tour on the way to la Fortuna).
