San jose, Costa Rica

San Jose enjoys the ideal temperate climate that characterizes Costa Rica’s Central Valley. As a result, many see it as a welcome relief from the heat and humidity of the coastal areas. While not quite as popular among expats as nearby Escazu, it still possess a certain charm as the nation’s capital city and cultural hub.

San Jose boasts restaurants, parks, museums, and other entertainment offerings. However, because it was established later than most Latin American capitals it lacks most of the colonial architecture and monuments that other cities claim.

It’s a great jumping off point for visiting many of the nearby beaches and national parks. Its international airport makes it easily accessible from almost anywhere in the world.

Judging by its exterior, the capital city of Costa Rica, San José, is merely an ugly conglomerate of outdated commercial buildings and decrepit infrastructure—potholed streets and crumbling sidewalks that wind without reason through a mishmash of seemingly thrown together

corrugated metal and plaster.

But beyond this superficial analysis, Chepe, as the city is referred to by locals, is a very cosmopolitan city that can be categorized as something in between a modern North American metropolis and the standard Central American capital.
