    Everything went very well. I really enjoyed the waterfalls, as well as La Paz and the coffee tour! Carlos is a great guy. It's a shame we couldn't visit the volcano, but I thought the waterfalls were a good substitute. I would recommend reversing the itinerary or changing the order of the tours so you can have lunch earlier.

San José Tours & Activities | Discover Costa Rica's Capital

San José is the energetic capital of Costa Rica, blending vibrant urban life with rich cultural heritage. Its bustling streets are filled with friendly locals, colorful markets, and charming cafes, making it a great starting point to explore the country's natural wonders and lively traditions.

From Coffee Plantations to Urban Heartbeat

Born from humble coffee-growing origins in the 18th century, the city has grown into the country’s political, economic, and cultural centre. Colonial-era buildings stand beside modern architecture, creating a fascinating contrast that reflects Costa Rica’s dynamic spirit.

When to Go

While the city welcomes visitors all year round thanks to its mild climate, December to April brings the sunniest days and the least rain, perfect for exploring both museums and outdoor spots.
