Central Valley title Central Valley map

The Central Valley boasts a nearly perfect climate that enhances the unusual landscapes shaped by the majestic volcanoes and fertile hillsides. Most of the country’s population lives within this temperate gorge. The capital city of San Jose is the focal point of this region.


San Jose is the main gateway for a series of tours originating from this city. If arriving into Juan Santamaria International Airport on a late night flight, or depart on an early flight, travelers can stay overnight in deluxe 5-Star hotels and resorts and boutique hotels.
