A short guide about San Jose

San Jose is laid back capital of Costa Rica, located in Central Valley and is very much the center of things - politically, economically and physically speaking. San Jose maybe a good place for food and shopping, but nowhere is the spirit and feel of San Jose more evident - than in parks, squares and markets, this where the common people of the city congregate to trade stories and opinions about everything from the weather to the failings of the current president.

San Jose is a fine city for walking tours and among its most important sights are the National Theater, the Giant Cathedral, the Gold Museum, the Jade Museum, the Children's Museum and National Museum. The Simon Bolivar Zoo is a great place to visit to get an idea of the animals you may see on your adventures into rainforests outside of the capital.

During your stay, cruise through the canals, view amazing flora and fauna in remote sections of the park, enjoy a guided walk through the rain forest. Cruise by boat to Sarapiqui and travel through the Tilajari Rain Forest Reserve, then on to Poas Volcano National Park to see the magnificent La Paz Waterfall and Volcano.

With so many amazing places to explore, Tourabout has a number of tour partners with vacations visiting San Jose and its many attractions such as the Rain Forest Aerial Tram, volcanoes, river rafting and the town of Sarchi, where visitors will find handicrafts and souvenirs.
