About

The venue has built a following in the capital, and the nearby districts of Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde give visitors plenty of reasons to pass through the area. A 4.7 out of 5 average across 189 reviews places Dolce Gelato among the more popular spots in San José. The venue is known for its gelato, and the steady stream of reviews suggests it has become a reliable stop for both locals and travellers. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward counter service, with the focus squarely on the frozen treats that have earned the venue its reputation. Opening hours run daily, so there is usually a window to drop by. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, which is worth planning around if you are travelling across the country. Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts, so a visit to the interior or the shoreline often comes with wildlife sightings. Active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú, along with Cerro Chirripó as the highest peak, give the country a dramatic backdrop for any itinerary.
