What You Can Expect

Take a break from the urban hum of San Jose with a visit to the charming neighboring town of Cartago. Connect with your knowledgeable guide at the beautiful Parque de Espa?ol (Spain Park) in central San Jose, and then kick off the day with a walking tour of some of the capital?s lesser-known attractions. You?ll pass by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Liquor Factory while learning historical trivia along the way.

A short hike into the hills above San Jose leads to an Atlantic Railroad station. Here you?ll board a train for the 45-minute ride to Cartago. Rolling into the mountains, you?ll pass verdant coffee plantations and other beautiful scenery of the Costa Rican countryside.

Once you arrive in Cartago, join many of the locals who navigate the historic city streets by bicycle. Your guide will lead you past architectural and cultural highlights and share interesting background on the town?s colonial history.

Immerse yourself in the sights and smells of the Central Market ? an important focal point of daily life for many of Cartago?s residents. Wander among the market stalls, and sample fresh produce and local specialties for an authentic taste of regional cuisine. Join local commuters on a bus ride for the return trip to San Jose. Your guide can provide tips on other urban sites to explore or direct you back to your city hotel.
