Relaxation and hiking in northern Costa Rica

Explore the city centre of the capital by foot. Nothing better to observe the different architectural styles, including the Teatro Nacional, bathed in the scents and flavours of the Mercado Central stalls, lunch in a soda, discover the museums before eating in one of the good restaurants of the Barrio Amun. And even though Costa Ricans are not really night owls, they remain animated by the passion for Latin dances. Finishing the day on lively rhythms is not just for ticos!
