Really very good place. Take a car to Heredia in the capital and take a taxi for more than 100 RMB. When I came back, I took the staff's car 😉

The Central Cathedral is the largest church in Alajuela, located in the heart of the city. The entire church has a distinct Spanish style, with beautiful murals depicted on the long arched roof inside. In addition, the central dome and shrine are extremely luxurious, which is the highlight of the entire church, and you must watch it carefully.

Active volcano, the altitude is a bit high. But you must go to Costa Rica. The scenery is really good and there are seas of clouds. You can see the Caribbean Sea when the weather is good. There is a direct bus opposite the National Grand Theatre.

The Museum of History and Culture of Santa Maria Juan is the most worthwhile museum in Alajuela. It displays the history of the indigenous peoples of Costa Rica, with many statues and ornaments, and is an important exhibition area of Costa Rican history and culture, a place that is very necessary to come.

Visitors to Arena Volcano Park are welcome, and the bubble volcanic hot springs are simply too enjoyable. The country is really a country that is brave! There are more than 270 volcanoes here, the most famous is Arena volcano located near the famous tourist resort of La Fortuna in northern Costa Rica. It had a devastating eruption in 1968, and it entered a long dormant state after 2010. Now it is a national park for tourists to visit. On the way to the volcano, you can see many small ants moving in groups and against the mini leaves to the observation deck. The view is very good. There is always a cloud and mist around the crater, surrounded by cloud and fog forests. There is a dining shop next to it, you can have a drink and look at the volcano. The scenery here is too suitable for wide angles, enjoy pure life pura vida! ❤️ For more local fun in Costa Rica, please consult me!

Price 9600 kronor. Most of the three-story museums are underground. The exhibition starts with an introduction to history, featuring a variety of interesting little objects made of gold. The golden frog and various little people are special. The exhibition ends with a currency display that introduces the currency history of Costa Rica. I finally learned that the name of Curran came from Columbus and began to use it in 1950. There is also a small art exhibition. I like an art painting full of copper pieces, and there will be different birds calling according to different pieces. Overall worth a visit

La Fortuna Falls in Costa Rica is a spectacular waterfall, although he is not very wide, but the water volume is very large. The water mist that sparked when the waterfall fell was very large, like a fairyland. There are many tourists swimming in the pool below, very happy.
