Penny Lane Xtreme
About
On Costa Rica, Penny Lane Xtreme sits inside Mall Paseo Metrópoli on Ruta Nacional Primaria 10 in Provincia de Cartago, Cartago. That puts it in the Central Valley, where the altitude keeps daytime temperatures cooler than along the Pacific or Caribbean coasts.
Penny Lane Xtreme has drawn 21 reviews and holds a 4 out of 5 average. The mall setting means visitors can pair a stop here with shopping and food under one roof, and the location on a national primary route makes it straightforward to fold into a drive between San José and the Caribbean side. Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all sit elsewhere on the map, so a hire car or shuttle is the practical way to reach Cartago from any of them.
Spanish is the official language and Costa Rican Spanish uses vos alongside the everyday phrase pura vida, so a few basic greetings go a long way with staff and drivers.
Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws inhabit the forests and coasts around Costa Rica, and the volcanic ranges running down the centre of the country shape both the scenery and the weather. Altitude is the main variable in the climate, which is why the Central Valley around Cartago feels milder than the lowland beaches.
