National Museum of Costa Rica is located in the heart of San Jose, next to Plaza de la Democracia. The yellow fortress-like building is a piece of history in itself: the outer walls still bear bullet marks from the 1948 civil war. On December 1 of that same year, José Figueres Ferrer famously swung a sledgehammer against the western wall of the barracks to announce the abolition of the army. Later, the barracks were officially converted into a museum, transforming from a military fortress into a cultural space. The visit begins at the butterfly garden near the entrance. The central courtyard displays several Diquis stone spheres; these perfectly round prehistoric stone spheres are highly recognizable artifacts of Costa Rica, and their discovery sites were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2014. The museum's exhibitions follow a chronological timeline: the Pre-Columbian hall uses hundreds of artifacts, such as pottery, jade carvings, and grinding stones, to tell the story of the life and beliefs of the inhabitants before the arrival of the Spanish; the Gold Hall displays animal-shaped gold ornaments and miniature shaman figures; the Colonial and Republican History halls use old photographs and artifacts to show how coffee, bananas, and the railway changed the country; in the exhibition area converted from old prison cells, graffiti carved by prisoners in the 1930s and 1940s still remains on the walls. After viewing the exhibitions, you might want to head to the second-floor terrace and the central courtyard to overlook downtown San Jose.San Jose · 72.1 km from Roxana

Walking along the volcanic rock trails of Arenal Volcanoes National Park, a slight tremor from the depths of the earth resonated in my shoes. The smell of sulfur mingled with the damp rainforest mist, and suddenly, the cry of a howler monkey pierced the air from the treetops. I held my breath on the viewpoint—and as the clouds parted, the cone-shaped crater slowly emitted smoke rings, the setting sun painting the steam into golden-pink ribbons. The most magical experience was visiting the lava field at night: dark red heat flowed like the earth's veins through the cracks in the rocks, illuminating the phosphorescent spots of arrow frogs on the leaves. The guide whispered, "The volcanic ash teaches the soil to feel pain, which is why the flowers here bloom so wildly." On the way back, I touched the dew on the moss on the rock wall, and it was as warm as tears.

The pure natural landscape is extremely beautiful, pristine and pollution-free. It is the Switzerland of Latin America, with Tabacon Hot Springs, Irazu Volcano, Waterfall Park, Blue River Forest Park, etc. You will never want to leave after visiting here!

Irazu Volcano is an active volcano in Costa Rica, with an altitude of 3,432 meters, and is the highest peak in the Central Mountain Range. It was originally very close from the capital San Jose to Irazu, only a few dozen kilometers, but we chose to return to the upper volcano from the distant Caribbean Sea, and stayed overnight in a mountain villa more than ten kilometers away from the volcano; the road to the volcano was originally very flat, but we were constantly navigated to dirt roads. Thanks to the help of simple mountain people, we went from the mountain road in Figure 9 to the 230 kilometers of the Holy Cross Cemetery, and then after several twists and turns, we turned to the correct 219 kilometers. The scenery is beautiful and the journey is winding. It took more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain. The scenery overlooking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can only be imagined, but looking down at San Jose at the bottom of the mountain is real. The volcano last erupted in 1978, leaving a crater with a diameter of 1,050 meters and a depth of 300 meters. There is a pool of green water at the bottom, which looks like a pocket version of Changbai Mountain Tianchi. There is also a dry crater with a diameter of 690 meters and a depth of 100 meters. The overall scenery of the volcano is beautiful and worth the trip. I will never forget the mountain people who showed the way. Three men with similar looks said at the same time that the Holy Cross Cemetery was ahead. A man carrying firewood put down his load and curiously said to his phone that the road was blocked.
