Street performers are a common sight on Central Avenue in downtown San José. They can be found on almost every block, and there is no set schedule for their performances. Most performers are amateur musicians or dancers, but there are also a few professional groups. The street performers add a lot of character to the area and are always worth a stop to watch for a while. My favorite spot to watch them is on the corner of Second Street and Central, where there is usually a breakdancing group putting on an impressive show. Even if you’re not into street performers, it’s worth taking a stroll down Central Avenue to check out all the different acts.

Barrio Escalante has become San José’s go-to neighborhood for great food in the last ten years. The streets are lined with restaurants, bars, and cafes, and there’s something for everyone. So you can find it here if you’re looking for a delicious brunch, a burger, some ramen noodles, or even alcoholic ice cream. One of the highlights of Barrio Escalante is the variety of restaurants. You can find everything from Mexican food to Indian food to Italian food. There are also plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available. In addition to the great food, the atmosphere in Barrio Escalante is also really cool. Barrio Escalante is also my preferred neighborhood to stay in. It’s so lovely to be able to walk around and go home, even after dark.

How cool is that? The Ruta Naturbanas (Nature-Urban Route) is a new conservation project in San José, Costa Rica. The project’s goal is to create a single walkway that crosses the entire city and is entirely in nature. Only a small piece of the route has been completed so far, and the project depends on donations from individuals and organizations. The trail near the Central Bank of Costa Rica in Barrio Amon is open 24 hours a day. The Ruta Naturbanas is a great way to get outdoors and explore nature within the city. The route near the Central Bank of Costa Rica in Barrio Amon is well-maintained and easy to follow. There are several parks, gardens, and other green spaces along the route and plenty of wildlife to see. I saw several birds, including toucans and parrots, as well as lizards and frogs. The route is also a great way to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. I would definitely recommend checking out the Ruta Naturbanas if you’re visiting San José!

San José has many parks, each with its distinct personality.
La Sabana is the largest and most popular park in the city. Located in the heart of San José, it offers plenty of space to run, play sports, and relax. The National Park is a beautiful green space located in downtown San José. It’s an excellent place for a picnic or a leisurely walk. Parque Bellavista is a smaller park, but it’s one of our favorites for its charming atmosphere and great views. Escazú is home to Iskatzu Park, a lovely green space with a playground and plenty of shade trees.
And finally, we can’t forget about Coffee Park, which is perfect for nature lovers looking for a quiet spot to relax. As mentioned before, it can get super hot in Granada. So it’s lovely to grab fresh fruit juice and relax in the shade at Parque Colón. The central plaza is seamed by the Catedral de Granada and numerous restaurants. Nicaraguans are said to be one of the happiest people in the world. So lean back and enjoy watching them as they go along with their day.
