Morning light slides over San José as your driver waits curbside, engine low and air conditioning humming.

History
The route ties the central valley’s colonial and volcanic history (Cartago and Irazú) to Limón’s Afro-Caribbean port culture developed around banana agriculture and maritime trade.
Conservation
Stick to paths during short stops and avoid single‑use plastics; coastal reefs and rainforest edges are sensitive to runoff and crowding—support local guides and businesses that follow sustainable practices.
