Plaza de Alto Varal
About
Plaza de Alto Varal, on Costa Rica, occupies a spot in San José, Urb. La Fabiola, in the country's central valley. First-time visitors should expect a local plaza rather than a large commercial centre, with the surrounding streets giving a sense of everyday life in the capital's outskirts.
A 4.1 out of 5 average across 59 reviews reflects a place that satisfies most of the people who stop by. San José anchors the surrounding area, and Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all lie within reach for travellers moving around the country.
Being in San José, the plaza sits on the main transport spine of Costa Rica, so buses and roads to the coast and the interior start from the capital. The site lies in Urb. La Fabiola, on the edge of the city rather than in its historic core.
The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, so the timing of a trip changes what the rest of the country looks like. Active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú rise inland, and Cerro Chirripó is the highest peak.
