I love a good walk around San Jose!! Thanks for sharing!
Im from Costa Rica and live in Canada in Vancouver to be exact. Anyone in Vancouver here in the comments?
At least you picked a nice city! We're from Kelowna. We have family in Vancouver
Yes I am from Langley, BC, 35 km east of Vancouver
Here’s one person you found from near Vancouver.. now what? What was the point of your question?
@@jay1970 wow on a roll hey! happy Easter to you too. Go find some eggs and suck on them.
Welcome hugs all world people...hugs from San Isidro Heredia 🇨🇷
deberias visitar el museo de Jade, y ver muchas piezas muy valiosas. Soy tica claro que he estado alli!
Happy to see you back, PURA VIDA Family, ❤
Back? We haven't gone anywhere yet
I'm sorry, I was sad on a video where you were saying that you were traveling, and I said please don't go, we will miss you, ❤️
@@eduardodiaz5877 Yes we are moving on June 25th, until then we are still making videos here
@@TheDufresnes thank you, how are those Big Boys, and don't change your videos, keep it Pura Vida easy relaxing enjoying and simple, ❤️ like Always, Eduardo Diaz from Nandayure Carmona Guanacaste, you was their making a video, but I was in Tibas , all our Blessings
I love the skechers store!! ❤
I was there a two days ago. That was quite a walk! it covers a few blocks👍
Hola amigo gracias por este vídeo de San José, mi ciudad natal, mucho gente la ve fea; pero cómo yo la quiero con el alma la veo bonita.
Creo qué a usted lo vi haciendo tomas en Buffalo, es usted de esa ciudad? Saludos!!!!
Thanks for watching, San Jose has plenty to offer that people miss out on. No not from Buffalo.
You walked all that in 20 min, not only you but your kid two. It would take me 1hr walking alll that 😂 thank you for the update on how the city has changed
Haha yes, we walk fast!
Im from Costa Rica and I hate walking in the Central Avenue, buy you guy's made it to awesome!❤
Tourists would love it but we could see if you did it often it wouldn't be the same experience. Thanks for watching!
I saw quite a few seniors speed walking down that street. Makes me wonder why. They looked like they’d probably walk a lot slower at home. 🙃
I’m never going to like a city again I’m afraid, but thanks for showing Central Avenue.
I would walk fast too if my time is running out on earth
@@TheDufresnesBad man!! 😅
Truth tho
The yellow building at the end is a museum for kids, but it has really cool stuf for everybody. The structure was a castle with moroccan design, it was a military base, a jail and now it's the museum of the kids. On the top of that building the expresident Jose Figueres destroyed a part of the walls with a mace, as a simbolic act when they removed the army and turned the place into a museum for kids because the new army was going to be an army of teachers and students to fight the iliteracy
It remains me of Mexico. the music the vendors very similar alot of people walking in the street.
Yes most Latin American countries have the same feel
We will be in Costa Rica next month. We have a flight out at midnight so we are looking for a place to walk around to shop and eat. What do you think about this place between 5pm-10pm on Monday? Thanks
We would recommend Barrio Escalante for that. We have a video about that area as well
Don't walk by the center of San José at night. You can do it on other cities but I would not recommend it there. If you're gonna move by SJ at night use Uber...cheap and safe....thats on San José, where I live I could even sleep outside and nothing would happen
Haha I hate San José but the weather is the most perfectly balanced, just the right temperature, so comfortable
Saludos y bendiciones.
Pura Vida!
Hi, I live here in Tampa, Florida and plan to visit Costa Rica this summer. I am Hispanic, brown skin and speak some spanish. How safe is it if you don't mind me asking.
As safe as anywhere, common sense goes a long way
Safe in Day dont it at Night. And this is Actually a Safer part of Town. Darker Skin and some Spanish Helps but TICOS Know a GRINGO When they See one keep your Head on a SWIVEL.. The Murder Rate is 17.3 % per 100k in Costa Rica in the U.S. its 7.8 % Costa Rica a lot of good things about it. Have Fun ✌️
Hi, there is some places in San José downtown where you should not go alone late at night, ask the locals and hotel workers when you arrive, your skin color has nothing to do with it LOL
@user-oe9gs5yg3z just like any city
There's Costa Ricans of every color, skin color is not gonna be relevant 😉
Fun
Have you been to a soccer game in Costa Rica? Would like to know what that is like.
No we haven't, would have loved to but every time we've been to San Jose there hasn't been a game
@@TheDufresnessometimes they also bring good concerts to the stadium. I watched Iron Maiden, Roger Walters, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and others, my friends watched red hot chilli peppers
Do you still live in costa rica?
@@hassanbilal3900 no, if you watch our latest videos you will see
Btw San José was the third city in the world (yes, in the world) to have public lights, they have not come a long way since then 😭💀🤣😭💀🤣🤙🏻😭🤙🏻🤣
Keep some 5,000 colones handy to give to the needy there! Be careful of pick pockets etc....
good walkabout...i still find it strange for people with very little money to be shopping like this all the time and have good cars..never understood how in the world they buy cars on only a few dollars per hour pay...it doesn't add up...
Credit! Lots of credit. Plus there are some high paying jobs in the city especially with foreign companies like call centers and finance companies.
Government workers and health care professionals are paid very well here. Don't kid yourself! It's no different than anywhere else in the world in that regard.
Absolute poverty is different than relative poverty. These people are not as rich as the average US citizen, but they have to play less to survive, I'm not even starting with the cost of healthcare and education. They're not poor on absolute terms cause they're able to obtain what they need. Also salaries are substantially higher than the rest of latin América. On Costa Rica you can also find people with a lot of money, most of the people are not poor, they're just not rich lol
Hi I walk that all the time when i go to San Jose I am located near the airport, which by the way.. people from other countries think that the airport is in San Jose CR because their boarding pass erroneously shows that, what they don't know is that the airport is actually in Alajuela, another province next to San Jose.
Yes we are aware it's in Alajuela, not sure why it's SJO, strange
Nightmare 😳 getting you acclimated before eastern trip ….
Not a nightmare for us, it's nice to see people moving about and having the energy of the city
@@TheDufresnes 💯👌
Like Chris said, we enjoy it! 😊
What’s chaotic? Just wanted to give some catchy title to get views?
Bingo! You deserve an award! 😂😂😂 Read the whole title, It's sarcasm, notice the question mark and exclamation mark together? Most people would find it chaotic as a lot of people don't like San Jose and think of Costa Rica as chilled beaches. As you notice at the end of the title we put "a must visit!" Go find something to do instead up trolling comment sections.
@@TheDufresnesas a Costa Rican it looks pretty crazy to me compared to the rest of the land 🤣
