Marino Ballena National Park near Uvita protects a spectacular coastal landscape. The park is famous for its whale-shaped sandbar, visible at low tide. Mangroves, reefs, and beaches provide habitat for sea turtles. Humpback whales migrate past the park between July and October, and again from December to April. The park is ideal for snorkeling, hiking, and enjoying relaxing sunsets every day.

The National Theater of Costa Rica is the cultural heart of San José. This magnificent 19th-century building impresses with its neoclassical architecture, marble, frescoes, and gold decorations. Today, it hosts concerts, operas, and guided tours, making it a perfect place for a brief stop in the city. Centrally located, it's a popular meeting point for travelers, locals, and culture enthusiasts alike.

Tourist site, with no easier access.

For hikes to Chirripó or in the surrounding area, it is a good idea to spend at least one night in camp. From San Gerardo de Rivas, the climb to the camp takes 6 to 8 hours, and to the summit another 2.5 hours if you are in good shape. The supplies at the camp are very good; you get wholesome meals and there is a kiosk. You can borrow blankets, towels, etc., thus saving on backpack weight. Luggage transport is also offered, but in my opinion it is not necessary. For the descent, if you are in good shape, you should plan on 1-1.5 hours from the summit and 5-6 hours back to the valley. It is quite a knee-breaker on the way back, but it is worth it. There are hardly any people in the park and the nature is simply unbelievably beautiful. We were there in April and had two days with good weather until late afternoon, after which the clouds move up the mountain. You can park in San Gerardo de Rivas in several private parking lots for little money.

Good shoes will help you master the challenging trail. Turn back at the "Mirador Pianista."
