What to Do in San Jose, Costa Rica
There’s a joke, in tourism circles at least, that says, “San Jose: It’s only 45 minutes from Costa Rica!” The bustling, modern metro area of almost 2 million people is indeed a far cry from the pristine rainforests and palm-fringed beaches for which the nation is better known. But in a way, San Jose—or “Chepe,” as it is lovingly called—is a most authentically Tico (Costa Rican) destination, the seat of government, culture, and commerce in the cool mountains of the Central Valley.
