At United Country Real Estate | Costa Rica Properties, Central Costa Rica is the region we call home. It’s a place where visitors flock to beautiful beaches along the Central Pacific Coast just as much as they head to the urban cultural mecca of capital city San José in the Central Valley.
The entire province of San José, including the city itself as well as many of the other cantons throughout the province, offers a world of interesting things to see and do. Whether you’re into museums and historic sites, shopping and dining, or outdoor adventures … the province offers all that and more.
Any trip to Central Costa Rica wouldn’t be complete without a visit to some of the country’s state parks, wildlife refuges and other protected areas. Depending on the spot, you can stroll through lush rainforests teaming with diverse wildlife; hike at least two different volcanoes; or even paddle rivers and streams. Head west to the Central Pacific Coast and you can add swimming and surfing to the mix.
Want to dine at a culturally authentic eatery known as a “soda”? Take in a round of golf amid stunning natural beauty? Check out a live music show at any number of different venues? Tour a vibrant outdoor market in the heart of San José? These are just a few of the activities and attractions that await you in Central Costa Rica.
