Barrio Escalante’s Guidebook
Sightseeing
The park is busy at all hours of the day, but really comes alive at night as friend groups meet up, dates begin and end, and everyone finds a place on the grass to chill. Musicians, magicians, and circus performers can periodically be seen in Parque Francia at night, all the more adding to the artistic, free-spirited vibe throughout Escalante.

Food scene
Only a 3 minute walk from this property, follow the train tracks to 'Lolita'. It houses handful of food stands retro-fitted in upcycled shipping container architecture. The yellow string lights and plant-covered entrance walls lighting up the whole alley.
There are lots of communal seating- two floors, a balcony, and a subterranean indoor/outdoor garden area with even more. You still might have to hunt for a seat though. On weekend nights, patrons spill out onto the sidewalk.

"Pura Vida" (pronounces poo-rah vee-dah)
Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say everything’s great, to say everything’s cool. Also, it is more than just a saying— It’s an emotion, it’s an attitude, it’s happiness, and it’s a way of life.
