Plaza Deportes Zagala Vieja

4.2(223 reviews)

About

Found on Costa Rica, Plaza Deportes Zagala Vieja sits in Barrio Hacienda Vieja within the Provincia de Cartago, at R3R9+V6P, El Tejar. That places it inland from the Pacific resorts of Jacó and Manuel Antonio and east of the capital, San José.

The venue holds a 4.2 out of 5 average from 223 reviews, a steady showing that reflects regular local use rather than one-off visits. Reaching it from the main towns is straightforward, and San José lies within easy striking distance for a day trip. Tamarindo, Santa Teresa and Puerto Viejo sit further out along the coasts, while La Fortuna and Monteverde draw visitors inland.

Costa Rica's Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year, so travel plans often hinge on which coast you are heading for. Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations, which shortens journeys to the more distant resorts.

Green and leatherback turtles nest on the Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings, giving wildlife-minded visitors a reason to time a trip carefully. A few words of the local language go a long way in shops and markets around Cartago.
