The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This may help in planning on the logistics (travel and accommodation) of your journey.
SAN JOSE (SJO)
Nestled in the lush Central Valley, San José is the vibrant, bustling gateway to Costa Rica’s natural wonders. The city’s architectural crown jewel is the National Theatre, a Neo-Classical masterpiece reflecting the wealth of the 19th-century coffee trade. Visitors can delve into pre-Columbian history at the shimmering Pre-Columbian Gold Museum or wander through the historic Barrio Amón, where colonial mansions have been repurposed into trendy galleries and cafes. From the sensory chaos of the Central Market to the verdant expanse of La Sabana Park, San José serves as a sophisticated urban hub surrounded by emerald volcanoes and cloud forests.
