Escazú - San José - Costa Rica

Spanish Colonial heritage

Escazú offers an interesting mix of countryside beauty and city attractions.

Surrounded by mountains, this typical Costa Rican "pueblo", of Spanish Colonial heritage, is only 15 minutes southwest of San José and 25 minutes from the airport.

The central portion of the town, also know as San Miguel de Escazú, is an oasis of tranquility and friendliness. One finds restaurants, the "sodas", the typical small Costa Rican restaurants, banks, and private and public schools. There are a wide variety of bed and breakfasts and hotels which reflect the peaceful surroundings.

All of Escazú has excellent taxi and bus service. Known as the City of Witches or as they say in Spanish, "brujas", Escazú has many interesting legends and traditions.
