Food Scene

Getting lost in the market is a must. Eat Gallo Pinto in Soda Tala, have some ceviche, buy some traditional candy, try medicinal herbs, buy some flowers or have an ice cream at Lolo Mora's. The market is filled with many secrets, you just have to get lost in it for a while to find them

Day trips

About 50 kms from San Jose, Volcan Irazu sits above the clouds at 3400m. It is a beautiful day trip that you can complement visiting Prusia, (if you want to hike), Cartago and Orosi. I would recommend driving there and staring your day early to get the most out of it
