Uncover the charm of Alajuela Province
Known locally as “The Land of Mangos”, Alajuela is famous for its breathtaking scenery, ranging from impressive volcanoes to lush tropical rainforests.
The province is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike, as it is perfect for hiking, soaking in hot springs or gliding through the treetops on a canopy tour.
The towns in the area, such as San Ramón, Grecia, Atenas, Sarchí and Zarcero, are charming and full of history, with friendly people, beautiful parks and unique sites such as the Metal Church of Grecia and the whimsical topiary garden of Zarcero.
