Costa Rica's hotels:

ALAJUELA, POAS AND BAJOS DEL TORO / CARTAGO, TURRIALBA AND OROSI / WEST OF SAN JOSE / SAN JOSE CENTER

The central valley stretches around San José to Turrialba in the east, and the Poás volcano in the north. This is where you can visit some of the country’s finest museums, including the Gold Museum, the Jade Museum, the National Museum and the Museum of Costa Rican Art. It’s also home to Costa Ricans’ favorite architectural gem: the National Theater.

The National Parks of the Central Valley protect the region’s main volcanoes: Poás, Braulio Carrillo, Irazú and Turrialba. The region also includes such magnificent destinations as Turrialba, Orosi and the Valley of the Saints (Valle de los Santos).
Both cultural and natural, the Central Valley has much to offer visitors and is well worth a stopover for a few nights.
