Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the city. Indulge in a tasty local menu filled with authentic local ingredients. Explore San Jose by night, complete with local markets, cultural icons, and a tasty dinner with wine – that’s your evening sorted! Starting with the Central Market, which, in our opinion, is the only way to learn about the city’s food (aside from eating it, which we’ll get to!). Stroll the market with your local guide and get to know the secrets and uses of the roots, herbs, and fruit common in local cuisines, including ingredients that will play a role in your authentic Costa Rican dinner later. After the market, we’ll make our way down Central Avenue, learning about the city’s history and anecdotes, as well as visiting one of the most architecturally beautiful buildings in San Jose, the National Theatre.

Mi idea es mostrarle la ciudad y caminar un rato por ella, conversar y tomarnos un café o alguna bebida. Vamos a salir desde el punto de nacimiento de la Villa Nueva de la Boca del Monte de San Joseph (nombre colonial de la actual capital costarricense), para ir caminando por puntos históricos y lugares de hechos trascendentes para nuestro país. Es una ruta basada en detalles, historia, anécdotas, rincones poco conocidos por el turista, complementado por el ingreso a edificios patrimoniales y a espacios públicos y privados, como Museos, Plazas, Cafeterías, Galerías, entre otras. Ideal para fotografiar y poder caminar por la ciudad e identificar sus puntos principales, paradas de autobús, tiendas, mercados y todo lo necesario para moverse por San José. En tres horas le daremos una perspectiva que pocos le podrán dar y que le harán ver porqué San José fue la gran urbe y porqué le llamaban "el pequeño París". Aún cuando llueva, tendremos recorrido. Iremos por San José, por algunas zonas de sus cuatro distritos históricos (Carmen, Merced, Hospital y Catedral).
