Costa Rica on Foot
Summer season is here in Costa Rica and I wanted to retake the search for good roads for walking and biking. I visited the small town of Rosales, located at the foot of the Barva Volcano.
One of the most lively towns in Costa Rica is the city of Heredia. The city has enough attractions worth a visit for those who are looking to have a glance at the everyday common folk lifestyle. Let’s take a look at what this place has to offer.
One year ago I went on vacation to Tortuguero, Limon. The Turtle Beach Lodge Hotel was my choice to stay in the area. It took me a while to talk about this travel because it was a trip of two days, but full of adventures. So let’s start this article talking about how to get there.
Such an adventure was going to El Salto Waterfalls. Not Paved roads, coffee farms, and the rainforest need to be going through to get to the Itiquis river where the waterfalls are located.
The Santa Barbara canton does not stop surprising me. I was heading to explore the Barva Canton. But because of some contingencies., I arrived in Santa Barbara late. Then I decided to leave Barva, in the Heredia province, for another day.
I visited the smallest canton of Costa Rica with just 7 kilometers of area. While the territory is not impressive in terms of extension, the economic and social development of this canton is very enviable.
Streets are fully paved, nice neighborhoods with old but well-maintained houses, good restaurants and stores, and a low crime rate.
Some days ago, I went to a meeting by bike to Alajuela City downtown and it ended early. I was about to go back home when I remembered I saw on the map there is a road between Pavas de Carrizal and Calle Cahuites in Santa Barbara.
This road sparked my curiosity I was looking for a shortcut to get to the Santa Barbara canton from route 125 without going up all the way to Carrizal. Carrizal is a nice town in the central mountain range.
