About

Found on Costa Rica, Abastecedor Barrantes sits in the Provincia de Alajuela, in Desamparados. Reaching it from the main towns on the island is straightforward, since San José lies close by and the road network around Alajuela connects onward to Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde.

The Provincia de Alajuela holds Desamparados, and the venue's standing comes through in a 4.4 out of 5 average across 75 reviews. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida, so a few words go a long way with locals.

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military, a detail that surprises many first-time visitors. Active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú sit within reach, and Cerro Chirripó is the highest peak in the country.
