Polideportivo El Carmen

3.8(43 reviews)

About

Polideportivo El Carmen in Costa Rica occupies Calle 4 in San José Province, in Santiago de Puriscal's Barrio el Carmen. The site carries a 3.8 out of 5 average from 43 reviews, a middling score that reflects a mix of opinions among those who use it.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts, which matters when planning a visit to this inland part of the country.

Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military. Active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú lie within the country, and Cerro Chirripó is its highest peak, so travellers often pair a stop in the Central Valley with trips to the coast or the mountains.

Puriscal sits away from the main tourist circuit, and reaching it from San José takes a drive into the hills rather than a straightforward highway run. Arriving with a clear idea of what you need from the venue saves time. The 43 reviews give a reasonable picture of what to expect before setting out.
