USA – Classic Costa Rica – 4N / 5D

Itinerary:

Day 01 -Arrive in San Jose
Founded in 1737, San José was a forgotten backwater of the Spanish empire until the late 19th century, when it boomed with the coffee business. San José enjoys springlike temperatures year-round and its location in the Central Valley — the lush Talamanca Mountains rise to the south, the Poás, Barva, and Irazú volcanoes to the north — makes it both stunning and convenient as a base of exploration. Check into hotel upon arrival.

Day 02 – San Jose City Tour
Immerse yourself in Costa Rica’s rich culture and history; visit the magnificent Opera House, the University of Costa Rica and the beautiful Sabana Park. Take an informative tour of the national Museum of Pre-Columbian Art. Transformed from an old military fort to display the country’s peaceful tradition, this museum will give you a unique insight into the cultural heritage of Costa Rica. Next, visit the historic National Theater, completed in 1897 and recognized as a masterpiece of architecture.(Meals: B)
