The Central Valley is a region located in the middle of Costa Rica, and consists of varying landscapes – plateaus, forests, mountains, and volcanoes. The region is made up of provinces, San Jose, Heredia, Cartago, and Alajuela, and home to the country’s capital city, San Jose, where the tall residential towers in the city have green, mountain views and four volcanoes in the distance. Scenic and practical, the Central Valley is home to the five-star resorts of Real Intercontinental, Marriott Costa Rica Hacienda Belen and Hilton San Jose Sabana.
The ideal combination of natural beauty and cosmopolitan city life, San Jose is the perfect hub due to its proximity to spectacular natural wonders. The Central Valley has many exciting attractions available to visitors such as the Irazu Volcano National Park in the mountains of Cartago and the Poas Volcano National Park in the heights of Alajuela. In the midst of a neighboring forest is the magical and mesmerizing La Paz Waterfall. Hacienda Orosi is known for its breath-taking mountain views and relaxing mineral hot springs. The fertile and volcanic soil of Doka Estate grows the most spectacular coffee in the world, and there are coffee tours available!
There is so much to do in the lovely, nature-immersed outskirts of the Central Valley that often the inner-city is forgotten – yet, metropolitan San Jose is the cultural gem of Costa Rica! San Jose is home to the National Theater, the National Museum and the Pre-Columbian Museum of Gold for those interested in history and art. The National Stadium and the Sabana Park are also popular destinations, surrounded by top-notch restaurants, bars and stores. The Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) is only 20 minutes away!
