Finally, drive back to spend one last night stay in San Jose City (is Costa Rica`s Capital city known for its natural beauty. An urban space like most contemporary cities: full of hipster Costa Rican coffee shops and craft beer bars). This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
