Fast, All-round, History, Monuments, Central Valley - As it was the means to get a good grasp of the history and highlights of the central valley of Costa Rica, we urged ourselves to see as much as we could in the few hours we had. Therefore the experience felt quite rushed. Nevertheless, I am really happy with the information I have gained on all the different places and monuments in Cartago and San José.
