Heredia

Embracing the Charm of Heredia Province

Heredia, often referred to as the "City of Flowers", is Costa Rica's smallest province, yet it is a land of contrasts and hidden charms.

Some towns in the province, such as Barva and San Joaquin, are dotted with old adobe houses with tile roofs and colonial architecture, which offer a glimpse of a bygone era and are a cultural testimony of the region.

But Heredia's allure doesn't stop at its architecture. The province is also home to the awe-inspiring Braulio Carrillo National Park and the majestic Barva Volcano. These natural wonders offer a great diversity of flora and fauna for hikers and wildlife lovers. Nearby you will also find hiking and picnic spots with breathtaking views of the Central Valley.

Heredia is also a land of coffee, strawberries, and pineapples. Imagine visiting a farm, plucking fresh strawberries, walking through rows of coffee plants, or seeing how pineapples grow – it's a unique experience that's both delicious and educational.
