San Jose, San Jose, Costa Rica Summary
The capital and largest city of Costa Rica, San Jose is a modern metropolis and makes for a great beginning to a Costa Rican adventure. Its many museums, churches, and government buildings will provide guests to the country with the information they need to enjoy a well-informed journey into the wonders of the land.

La Paz Waterfall Gardens
the bird observatory was nice, with a wide range of birds. The downside was the caged animals. I would’ve preferred to see animals in their natural environments. I suppose that if you’re with children, however, it’s safer and more organized.

city attractions
San Jose is where you’ll find plenty of museums and more city-like attractions. Although most tourists want to visit Costa Rica for its plentiful nature, it’s a good idea to visit the capital, just to get a better idea of the country and its culture so that your trip will be more rewarding.
