5. San José
Stop
About the destination: Die Hauptstadt von Costa Rica befindet sich im Zentrum des Landes, ungefähr 1´100 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel, in der sogenannten „Meseta Central", dem Zentraltal. Sie ist die größte Stadt des Landes mit rund 340000 Einwohnern. Die Stadt ist umgeben von einer vulkanischen Bergkette im Norden und einer nicht-vulkanischen Bergkette im Süden. San José ist eindeutig das Zentrum des Landes und ist in den letzten Jahren schnell gewachsen. Es gibt viele verschiedene Baustile in der Stadt und unter diesem Aspekt betrachtet ist San José nicht sehr attraktiv. Allerdings verfügt San José über ein attraktives Nachtleben mit zahlreichen Restaurants, Bars, Diskotheken und Kasinos. Zudem bieten sich durch die Nähe zu Vulkanen, Nationalparks, Flüssen und Wasserfällen sehr interessante Ausflüge an.
