The Ticos affectionately call their capital San José "Chepe", and we would like to show you its best side on a two-hour walk. The tour begins and ends at your hotel in the city center.
At the city's central market, you will observe Costa Ricans go about their daily shopping for tropical fruits, vegetables and herbs, and why not chat with their neighbor over a delicious cup of coffee. As you walk along the lively Avenida 2 to the Plaza de la Cultura and the National Theater, you will learn about Costa Rica's history and the origin and development of the local coffee culture. Why is Costa Rica a pioneer in the region when it comes to peace and ecology? You will get the answers to these questions at the latest at the Plaza of Democracy. Our city tour will give you a lively insight into the daily life of the Josefinos and an overview of the capital's most emblematic buildings. Our guide will also provide you with tips and recommendations for your stay in San José. Let Chepe surprise you!
After the tour, we recommend a visit to the Chietón Morén Museum and Handcraft Market. In this museum you will have the opportunity to get to know the different indigenous peoples of Costa Rica. Since it is also a store, all the ethnic groups of Costa Rica exhibit their handcrafts, for which they set the fair prices. During your visit, you can learn about the history of our country and purchase authentic handcrafts at a fair price for you and the artist.
