San Jose Costa Rica Facts:

San Jose is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica. Located in the Central Valley, San Jose is the seat of national government, the focal point of political and economic activity, and the major transportation hub of this Central American nation.

Founded in 1738 San Jose is one of the youngest capital cities in Latin America by year of conception, though it was not named capital until 1823.Today San Jose it is a modern city with bustling commerce, brisk expressions of art and architecture, and spurred by the country’s improved tourism industry, it is a significant destination and stopover for foreign visitors.

The population of Downtown San Jose is 346,799, though the metropolitan area stretches beyond the town limits and comprises a third of the country’s population. San Jose put forth a strong influence on a wider range because of its proximity to minor cities (Alajuela, Heredia and Cartago) and the country’s demographic assemblage in the Central Valley.

Visitors of San Jose can enjoy lovely tropical beaches, the grandest adventures, the wonders of nature, scintillating culture, all the necessary components of an ideal vacation. No wonder, then, that thousands of tourists have made Costa Rica their top travel choice.
