San Jose & around
18. juni 2025, Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
On June 18th we visited San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. While it is by no means my favorite city in Latin America, it is not a place where you will be bored if you have a day or two to spare. TheLes mer

Not only what you see, but also meeting and interacting with special people makes this overland trip fantastic! On the way to San Jose, the last stop was at the "finca de los maestros", where we stayed for two nights and met Mireya, the owner of the place. Mireya, a very talkative and nice person, is also the cook of the restaurant (especially on days when there are not many customers, being the only employee), but also a writer. She wrote a book about the Costa Rican concept of "pura vida", her book has also been translated into English and can be purchased on Amazon,com. Since the campsite only had cold showers, we asked Mireya if we could take a hot shower. She offered us her own bathroom. There are numerous diplomas on the walls, most of them from courses she has completed. A special person!

The gate is narrow (car width plus 10 cm), you have to close the rearview mirrors and it's best to enter backwards. But when parking in narrow spaces you can see the true driving master, on the highway anyone can! We spent hier two nights.
