➤Fri 01 Nov 2024: Shared combination of Food & Cultural + San Jose walking tour San Jose
San Jose is a small capital, full of details and history, that can be easily visited by walking. Art Deco and neoclassical buildings that discreetly impose themselves as jewels inherited from visionary coffee growers can be found too. This is a city that contains the history of a very young society reflected in its parks, museums, theaters, art galleries, and diverse corners. This visit focuses on four foundations of Costa Rican society: Peace, Health, Environment, and Education. Founded in 1880, the Central Market has preserved its essence and is one of the best examples of Costa Rican culture and society. This visit will also be a very good introduction to familiarize yourself with the different tropical flavors. It is possible to find a great variety of tropical fruits and vegetables, medicinal plants, species, meats, fish and seafood, ornaments, and even animals. The Central Market is also known for its "sodas" (small informal restaurants). This visit is an excellent opportunity to meet the people who work in the market, to smell the aroma of a fresh tortilla, to taste a delicious guava jam or just to enjoy a freshly squeezed coffee.
