Visitors give La Chola a 4.6 out of 5 average across 29 reviews, a strong showing for a venue in the capital. San José is well connected to the rest of the country, with Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all reachable from the city. The location in Paso De La Vaca places it in San José, within the Central Valley. Its position in the capital makes it a convenient stop for travellers passing through.
Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings.
The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year. For visitors moving between the capital and the coasts, La Chola's San José setting makes it an easy addition to a wider itinerary.
