Let the Pura Vida way of life take over as you arrive in Costa Rica’s cultural capital, San José. Affectionally known as 'Chepe', exploring San José reveals that it is a charming and vibrant capital. Built on the profit of a roaring coffee trade, this a city overflowing with museums, parks, theaters and innovative restaurants. Arriving today, settle in to your hotel then feel free to head out to explore.

Day 2
San José – Monteverde (2 Nights)
Finishing up your final morning in San José with a quick sightseeing tour of the city’s most iconic sights, you’ll then travel north towards the creative little town of SarchÃ. Widely regarded as the cradle of Costa Rican artisanship, this is the place to buy intricate arts, crafts and souvenirs. The finest display of SarchÃ’s creative offering comes courtesy of the highly decorative oxcarts that are displayed here. Elegantly carved and hand painted in bright colours, the oxcart is a national symbol of Costa Rica and a beautiful reminder of its humble beginnings. Take your time browsing the shops and stalls here, before continuing your journey through the Tilaran Mountain range. Climbing higher and higher, we’ll be listening out for the collective sighs of appreciation as you enter the mysterious and misty Cloud Forest.
