Welcome to Pura Vida Expeditions

We want you to get to know the city in a way that's authentic, so we'll show you around the main streets and introduce you to the local shops. We'll also check out the big parks like Morazán and San José National Park.

​

During our tour, we'll visit the National Theater, also known as "The jewel of San José," a masterpiece of art and architecture built by Costa Ricans and completed in 1897.

 

We'll also visit the Metropolitan Cathedral, so we can all experience the beauty of this incredible place together! As we wander around our beautiful city, we'll point out some of the historically significant and notable buildings that make our city special. We'll take in the sights of places like the Costa Rica University, the Old Train Station, the National Liquor Factory, the National Supreme Election Bureau, the Asamblea Legislativa (similar to the US Congress), the Metallic Building, some lovely parks, and various other interesting spots. This is an intro to our capital city, and we'll talk about our economy, culture, politics, religion, and general information.
