San Jose
Due to its strategic location, San Jose is the ideal place from which to start or end your journey. Set in the middle of the central valley and surrounded by high mountains, it is a pleasant, clean city with high quality cultural events, an interesting gold and jade museum, artisan workshops and an opulent National Theatre.
Within easy reach of San Jose are fertile farming valleys and coffee plantations, whose fincas now make for luxury hotels. The volcanoes of Irazu and Poas, the artisan village of Sarchi and the Braulio Carrillo National Park aerial tram experience are also a days trip from the capital.
