The
Central Valley, or Meseta Central, is the center of
Costa Rica due to its geographical location, culture
and economic activities. It is surrounded by
spectacular towering mountains which make the area
reminiscent of like Switzerland and inactive
volcanoes such as Poás and Irazú.
The valley lies at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000
feet above sea level. Its fertile volcanic soil
makes it an ideal place for growing anything,
including some of the world’s best coffee. It is not
surprising that more than half of Costa Rica’s 4
million people live in this area because of its
almost perfect year-round spring-like climate. The
capital city of San José is located here as well.
This is the perfect retirement/relocation tours for
anyone interested in living in Costa Rica’s Central
Valley. This area is blessed by year round
spring-like temperatures, excellent infrastructure
including major shopping centers and malls, offers
every imaginable activity to stay busy and almost all of
the amenities of living in the United States.
Tour participants will view the many desirable
areas where foreigners live and will have the
opportunity to view some of their homes. A recent boom in the
construction industry has created a wide variety of
affordable new homes from which to choose. Many
gated communities have been built in Escazu, Santa
Ana, Puriscal, Heredia, Atenas and Grecia areas.
