Nicest people I've ever met in my life live in Costa Rica. They treated us like family there. Very open-hearted, tight-knit communities. Thank you, Costa Rica! :)
First went there in 2007. When I retired in 2011, I moved to San Jose. Stayed for 5 years. Had to return to the US to help family. If not I would still be there. Loved every minute of it. Beautiful country and beautiful people.

Soy de Panamá y cuando tuve la oportunidad de ir a Costa Rica me enamoré de ese país! Aunque somos vecinos somos muy diferentes en todos los sentidos! Estoy planeando volver! Todo hermoso! Las playas, la laguna de hule! Todo! De volver a ir quiero visitar Limón y Puerto Viejo... 🇨🇷🇵🇦

soy de Honduras y hace aproximadamente 10 dias estuve en San Jose y me senti muy seguro en el centro con el trabajo que realiza la policia, San Jose me recuerda a Tegucigalpa solo que mas bonito y ordenado y lo que mas me gusto de San Jose es el ambiente y energia que tiene, su gente!!!

I am Costa Rican. Costa Rica has some beautiful areas, but this video is showing downtown San Jose, which I would NOT recommend to any tourist. Unfortunately there is nothing nice to see there. To see the beautiful places go visit the volcanos, the national parks, Monte Verde and the beaches on the Pacific Ocean; however, do not waste your time going to Puntarenas unless is to catch the ferry. Some of the most beautiful beaches are Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Samara, Malpais. I would NOT recommend the Caribean side. There are some nice beaches there, but the area is a little dangerous. So to keep it safe, avoid that area.
Not particularly racist. There is some xenophobia against Nicaraguans, and some other immigrants, but in general it's not a huge problem. People do expect tourists to be white since most visitors come from North America and Europe, but not being white will not be a problem whatsoever.
Inspired, I have lived here more than 15 years, I believe it is very racist. There are many very good people here, but many are deepñy racist, sadly this includes my lady friend who now owns all my property because I trusted her. she has since robbed me blind
Karol M COSTA RICA ES PRECIOSO SOY ITALIANO Y SOY MARINO MERCANTE Y UNO DE LOS LUGARES FABORITO ES COSTA RICA POR LAS COMIDAS Y COMO DE BIEN TRATAN A UNO COSTA RICA ES ERMOSO Y SU JENTE TANBIEN
@ Pero dijo la verdad, a puros orines huele. Está hecho un desastre y descalificar a otros por señalar esas problemáticas no va a permitir que avancemos.
@ soy paisa amo tiquicia vivi 22 años de mi vida en ese país siempre vivi en san José centro por el pali de la castellana avenida 4ta avenida 2da plaza de la cultura esa avenida es la que va directo a sábana hacia Rormoser recuerdo cuando me metía a pasoca a comprárme vestuarios y calzados para mi y mis chiquito mis botas obvio siempre estaba pendiente de las promociones de verano y de invierno yo trabajaba mucho me gusto comprar buenas cosas y las promociones de diciembre en artículos escolares también vi en el video el parque central en ese año yo aún vivía allá me encantaba el invierno la lluvia copiosa a veces caían granizos me encantaban ver los granizos igual que jinotega y matagalpa el clima frío frío igual que el norte de mi nicaragua si a algunas personas no les gusta tiquicia yo todo lo contrario y los ticos papasssssito rico mi amors le decía yo a jose un tico bello estuvimos tan enamorados así es algo inicia y después del tiempo se acabo
Idk whats wrong with all these people cutting down San Jose... if you want the States then stay there!!! I love downtown... I go at least 2-3 times a month... Best food in town and you sit next to a local cab driver and rub elbows talking about your day with him... I love the smells in the market... fresh comino being ground, tortillas de queso on the stovetop, a lady slicing open a pineapple handing u a piece trying to sell it to you... You can't get that in the States... I love this country and I wouldn't leave it... I love the people... This is home for me... I love the hustle and bustle... the street smells and vendors on every corner... The ticos got it right... Keep the costcos and the like... I love this country...
LOVE IT! Pura Vida! Behind the scenes of tourism. The real Costa Rican life of the everyday people. Brought back many memories. You did a great job! Thank you so much.
Cuando extraño a mi familia en Costa Rica veo este video... así me da mas fuerza a esperar ese momento en el que regrese a San Jose :) Saludos desde Panamá. When I miss my family in Costa Rica see this video ... so give me more strength to wait for that moment to return to San Jose :) Greetings from Panama.
Tuve el placer de visitar San Jose hace unos meses. Me gusto mucho el clima, el lugar se presta para vacacionar y conocer mas. La amabilidad de la gente es el punto a favor, y tienen lugares interesantes en la ciudad como el complejo la Sabana. Saludos desde Panama.

Personalmente me parece una ciudad como cualquier otra, tal vez mas limpia y ordenada que otras de latinoamerica. La gente es muy respetuosa. Cabe resaltar la educación de los costarricenses es una de las mejores de latinoamerica, su sistema judicial, NO HAY EJERCITO (me parece fabuloso) la conservacion de su medio ambiente, es algo digno de admirar. P.D. NO SOY TICO, MI ESPOSA NO ES TICA, NI TINGO NINGUN FAMILIAR TICO, PERO SI UN PROFUNDO RESPETO POR TAN LINDO PAIS.
@@Menvidalcolom8667 tu ojos estan sucios de la basura en tu ciudad y vez todo sucio pero eres tu con Los ojos sucios si yo fuera tu tambien tendria rabia
I have been to Costa Rica 11 times for stays of 1-4 weeks since 1996. I have been to several areas of the country and disagree with some who say stay away from San Jose. It's a big city, so sure, be aware of your space and surroundings, but don't be afraid to go there.There are plenty of things to see and do, including catching a performance at the National Theater or visiting the museums. Food? Don't worry, places like Café Mundo and others will give you a fine meal with excellent service at a reasonable price.Finally, don't fail to interact with the Costa Rican people. I have found them to be good natured, welcoming, and willing to be helpful. Besides, they like to have fun like everybody else.
A todos los que nos insultan.Gracias, muchas gracias, cada insulto nos demuestra la envidia que nos tienen y nos recuerdan la inmensa bendición que tenemos de haber nacido en Costa Rica.No tenemos grandes ciuades, pero tenemos tantas cosas que no tienen ustedes en sus superdesarrollados y futuristas paises.De nuevo...GRACIAS.
Soy un nicaragüense Costa Rica es mi segundo país cuando nesecite de ese hermoso país meabriero las puertas en 1978 merefugie y me trataron muy bien mis hermanos ricos grasias hermanos Costa Rica es muy bella la amo a no meablen mal de heya
Que bueno que esta el vídeo, soy de Costa Rica y es exactamente así como se vive en el puro centro de la capital. Es exactamente la parte menos bonita de Costa Rica, y sin embargo, se puede caminar con tranquilidad y paz como tu lo has hecho.
Estuve en San José en febrero de 2017. Me pareció una ciudad caótica, sucia, insegura. Lamento que un país tan bello tenga una capital en esas condiciones. Invito a los habitantes de San José a exigir a sus gobernantes que pongan orden en esta ciudad. Es una ciudad cara y no ofrece buena calidad de vida. Especialmente el centro de la ciudad es lo peor. Costa Rica ha desarrollado bastante el turismo, tiene grandes entradas por este concepto. Pero están perdiendo una gran oportunidad de generar turismo en su capital. Después entendí la razón por la cual el guía que contratamos no quería por ninguna razón que nos quedáramos en San José. Creo que los mismos ticos sienten vergüenza de su capital. Lo único que disfruté fueron los museos. Especialmente el museo del jade. Es absolutamente bello!!!
Asi es no me gusto para nada san jose me robaron 30mil colones del bosilllo magicamente fui a monte verde aya estube tranquilo heredia pero san jose muchos ladrones en la calle
Tiene partes feas y bonitas, mucho descuido al patrimonio arquitectónico ya que todo el presupuesto para esas y otras cosas se lo pasan entre todos por debajo de la mesa, ha perdido mucho legado cultural este país por eso mismo... Por que de tener potencial lo tiene bastante pero sin una purga de corruptos del gobierno dudo mucho que se vaya a embellecer el panorama josefino...
Wow ! I am Salvadoran, originally. But I'd like to visit Costa Rica. Now I'm in the United States but I have always wanted to visit this amazing country and its beautiful girls and have a lot of fun, if you know what I'm saying. Aww I'm sure I'll visit it, someday. Costa Rica is one of the most advanced countries in Central America followed by El Salvador. God bless you and see you so soon
Solo puedo decir que es el pais que me vio nacer hace 68 años y no puedo sacarlo de mi corazón por muchas cosas que han cambiado, pero es mi gente, mis juegos de trompo, las posas, mi escuela primaria y mi Liceo donde nos formamos con valores que aunque se han querido desaparecer todavía existe gente linda y sencilla que conserva el disfrutar un cafecito caliente con una cuna o un gato, comerse un galllopintico con huevitos del patio, el respeto a los mayores, ir a la avenida central a tirarle confeti a las chiquillas que nos gustaban, el desfile de faroles, en fin son muchos los recuerdos que encierra ese chivisima país, y aunque haya mucha opinión y crítica es el pais mas lindo del mundo y nunca dejare de quererlo. Vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz !
yo en ningún lado veo lo feo al contrario el vídeo enseña con la tranquilidad que pudo andar grabando por todo lado en nuestra ciudad y la seguridad que hay, vayan al Salvador, Honduras o Venezuela y hagan lo mismo a ver si se puede.Gracias por enseñarle esto al mundo.

como mexicano de antemano pido disculpa por la ignorancia de algunos compatriotas insultando a gente de otro pais. es su cultura su forma de vida y por lo tanto ahy que respetarla senores. es muy bonito pais tuve la dicha de visitarlo y creanme que por solo ver un lugar por un monitor no le hace la justicia possible.
Si es bonito pero no se debe de insultar y hacer menos a otros ciudades de Latinoamérica nadie es mas ni menos, todos los países tienen su encanto y desencanto.
Mira no me parecio tan bonita pero..... es normal por alguna razon en centroamerica las capitales no son tan bonitas pero el resto del pais siempre es HERMOSO
You took a good deal of video and I felt as if I had gone along with you. Thank You!! This is really cool. I'm 47 and thinking about the next 10 years and the possibility of living in CR

I was born in Limon,Costa Rica and lived in New York since I was 3yrs. old. Have not been back since i was 10yrs. and i really don't know much about were i was born. Downtown remind me of like chinatown in Mannhattan. Thanks for taking the time to post the real streets of CR and not what the tourist company show. I will be going back to visit family real soon.
I love Costa Rica, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too and I have traveled the world. I especially love the food and the people. Very respectful and loving people here in Costa Rica..
+Private Person thanks, well for me Nicaragua its a beautiful country, people out there are really humble take my word for it, i have gone there plenty of times so i can know how beautiful Nicaragua is and how humble are the people there i recommend it a lot go to granada its really nice during the night at the calle la calzada there are a lot of bars and restaurante there i heard leon is really pretty but hotter than the rest of Nicaragua, fyi Nicaragua is a really hot country i suggest taking a lot of shorts sleeveles shirts and sun block if you don't like getting sun burn.
larech sandoval lizano Thank you Larech for the information, when I come back to Costa Rica as (I love this country best) I will make effort to stop in Nicaragua. Nicaragua being next to Costa Rica there it is evident that there are a lot of people from Nicaragua in Costa Rica as well, seems that they migrated in Costa Rica due it being a better economy, nevertheless I can imagine how beautiful Nicaragua is too and the people. Thanks for sharing
yeah there is a lot of people in costa rica in nicaragua they think its better here to come and work i disagree honestly everyrhing is so expensive things you can get a dollar store you get in costa rica for about 3-4 dollars meals from fast food double the price from the states, i have seen pants that are cheqp quality about 40-80 dollars here and in the us are around 10-15 dollars. i would rather from nicaragua move to panama its a cheap country and they get paid better than costa rica or nicaragua
Thank you for sharing your interesting and natural walk. What an atmospheric place. As we do gopro walks too in soulful places in Europe it's always lovely to see places further afield that we may never get to go to, we enjoyed absorbing the atmosphere and have subscribed.
Es increible la cantidad de gente que hay en ese downtown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Las calles bastante limpias considerando los miles y miles de personas que caminan por ellas. Buen video
Costa Rica ha cambiado mucho, amo mi país pero no soy ciega. Los gobernantes dejan entrar cualquier indeseable no tienen un control de la gente mañoza y también los nacionales matan por cualquier cantidad de plata se han adueñado del país y el Gobierno como que no,es con ellos, y los ticos que no hacemos nada. Pero cuando puedas visita Costa Rica eres Bienvenido Aaaaa y trae mucha plata porque esta todo carísimo que pena pero es la verdad!!!
Very nice. Every part of this video I've walked. Except when you left San Jose. But it was awesome to see some1 filmed this. I loved it. I'm born & and raised in U.S.A. & I'm also Costa Rican. I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking for my mom & grandmom walking around near ''el edificio del correo'' area. One thing I noticed is the police presence and the ''scaffold'' looking police station. About time. It's also to prevent vendors outside stores.Anyway, thumbs up for a gr8 video!!
Tuve la suerte de viajar con toda mi familia a Costa Rica la capital no tuvimos mucha oportunidad de conocer solamente los museos pero fuimos a Monteverde contactaste Fortuna Puntarenas San José un poco y mucho en Cartago donde reside my familia el país nos encantó ah también los volcanes de Irazu lindo país
saludos desde Venezuela,felicitaciones esta muy bueno tu vídeo, me podrías recomendar según tu experiencia algún hotel,o pensión para una estadía de 7 días?de antemano gracias¡¡¡
Que buen video, pude conocer algo d Costa rica y la sociedad, y por momentos una d esas peatonales se parece tambien a la peatonal Florida d Buenos Aires, Argentina q parecido somos los latinos, saludos y q viva la America latina
Is it customary to go right through red lights and stop signs? I might do that myself out in the country where you can see quite a ways in both directions, but not in downtown.

Gente hermosa, cálida y sencilla cada vez que voy paseo por todo San José, las iglesias y los teatros, el museo de los niños excelente capital soy Venezuela y mi familia vive toda allá pura vida.
Es un video sobre el centro de San Jose en Costa Rica, nada mas ni menos. No es mi intencion de dejar mal a este maravilloso pais. Y obviamente tiene una naturaleza preciosa. Y de hecho: a mi me ha gustado la estancia en San Jose y moverme por el centro. No hay nada de que avergonzarse. Espero poder haber aclarado este malentendido. Gracias por ver el video. :)
From my experience, i traveled last month to costarica, my impression was as many people here said, especially san jose it is definitely not safe like in Europe since iam german, also when you go out from san jose you dont feel secure because of the way drive and the ugly streets around san jose , in the night i never dared to go san jose because it is simply not attracting for visitor to walk in its streets, i took buses there , it was ok punctual but not comfortable at all and because of the traffic the buses can be a hell journey to travel with, taking taxis is also kind of expensive and talking about money, costarica is most expensive country i guess , even most rich countries in Europe are not expensive as costarica when it comes to food it’s unfortunately poor quality and very expensive except some local products like tropical fruits! A small bottle of water cost 4 euros which is 5$ unbelievable , to have nice meal you need minimum to pay 20€ which quite expensive, but service in restaurant was good and people generally were friendly and ready to help, i cant imagine i was able to stay more than a week there if i was not hosted by very nice local Costarican person who was my guide to see most beautiful places of costarica !
I feel bad when many people dont feel confortable because this country is very expensive and is not safe in many parts of the city but CR is very beautiful
El GERMANY...you have got to be kidding. You sound like the most fearful person on earth. Afraid in Costa Rica? LOL. How about your beloved Europe, while you are there, try London as the Brexit out because they are so racist they hate immigrants and are confused and people are rebelling in the streets, etc, etc. Pretty much like the US. We need to re-think the concept of First World and Third World Countries. CR is a first world country. I don't know where you ate there but you can spend as little or as much as you like. Have some adventure or go back to Germany, where it's safe.
oui c'est très cher, je suis costaricienne et j'habite maintenant en Belgique et les prix des choses sont moins cher en Belgique qu'au Costa Rica, c'est dommage
Jeremy Bagley..I had a job teaching at the Universidad Veritas...what did you study there? Film, photography? Zapote is a lovely place. Have you ever been to the Universidad Para la Paz?...in Ciudad Colon?
Me and girlfriend are thinking of moving to Central America can anyone tell if Costa Rica is a good place to start a family, I seen pictures and if looks beautiful and lots of place I'd love to explore but I've heard that crime as become huge in Costa Rica, my friend lived in CR for about 3 years with her family and she really enjoyed it and lots of cool wildlife and beautiful places to visit but her house was broken into twice but it doesn't sound that bad but its something to think about.. So if anyone can reply it would be much appreciated and be a bit reasonable though 😋
I would recommend you cross central america by bus first like I did. It does not cost much to go from Mexico City to Panama City. It is a 3 day bus ride from Tapachula-Mexico to Panama. I definitely would be starting the bus ride from Mexico City to include Mexico. Please view my tica bus videos for Landscapes or other videos about Mexico. Thanks for watching :)
sounds like your friends house wasn't properly secured. When I lived in Woodstock, NY where crime is probably 10 times worse than CR I warded off a criminal break in by making sure all my windows and doors were break-in proof. They came that same night and couldn't get in. Junkies. In CR most police don't carry guns, the people are very friendly to people from el norte. I loved CR, may retire there. It's safer by far than most places and in their constitution war is forbidden. Beware however of all the tourists from up north and Europe, Canada and Australia. They are all over the place down there and Americans own a lot of land and some think they own Costa Rica. BTW it is very family oriented and very soon after your arrival you will be invited to dinner at some familie's home. There is very little hate there and there's lots of love. Definitely check it out!
BTW If you're in San Jose you can stay at this really cool youth hostel until you get your bearings. From there are shops and restaurants, and live music in Central Park. Go to Central Park. If you want to go to a very nice beach tourist area on the azure blue Pacific, take bus to Manuel de Antonio where they have cabinas and beach hotels. The tropical forest there is awesome and the fruit and veggie sellers, palm trees, wow; if you go to the Caribbean coast though, keep your pack nailed to your body. Poor Ticos don't want to hurt you; they may just want your pack, but I never ran into any trouble. Did you know you have to have both a passport and visa stamp? You get it at the closest Costa Rican consulate. It may be good to pair up with other tourists whom you trust. Also, are you aware of how the seasons are turned around 180 degrees. I went in October from Mpls., MN where temp was -30, and when I landed in CR it was summer, in the 90s. They have two seasons, rainy and not-rainy, 6 months each. It's rainy now, July, but its summer in October. The general vibe throughout the country is one of respect.
Did you have your camera up and were looking through the view finder the whole time? or were you just holding it in your hand? i'm curious, because i'm always worried about getting it stolen as i walk around the streets.
People with money don´t tend to live in central San Jose. It´s not much of a city - very suburban. Central downtown San Jose is dangerous at night. Never take out a large amount of cash from a bank teller there. They have contacts on the outside who mug the clients after they leave the banks. I´m so glad I have severed ties with Costa Rica because of the dishonesty and disorganization.
Paul, I'm pretty sure, from reports I've seen in Filipino tv news, that that's a common occurrence in the Philippines, as well. So many cases of people picking-up large cash deposits at banks then being robbed moments after they exit the bank.
doesnt matter which city in the world you in, if you take a large amount of cash from cashpoint your going to ask for trouble. San Hose is a great city and safe if your street wise and not stupid enough to wear bright clothes and fancy items (jewelery etc). ive been there a couple times and is one of my favourite cities, very vibrant and characteristic.
After 18 years of experience with San Jose, Costa Rica, I´m glad to be finished with it. To me it has no safe, decent downtown. I feel safe in any first world city, except many US inner cities. I now live in Merida, Mexico which is a major city with a lively downtown- day and night - and much safer than San Jose or US major cities.
@@PaulBeet Many surveys about the most dangerous cities in the world always have Latin American and So Am countries and cities at the very top of the list. But never Costa Rica, never San Jose. We are talking about Managua, very violent Guatemala. But also places Columbia. I agree about US cities, among the world's most dangerous cities is always East St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, border towns in TX, South Central LA--the largest gang territories in the US. Even in beautiful Seattle, there is the US's largest homeless population and it keeps growing. Seattle does not arrest or harass the homeless. They help them, and they are trying to figure out a permanent solution, but Amazon keeps stopping the city. Who do they think they are? They and places like them will contribute heavily to US downfall economy. Amazon is an awful company--with many of their entry level employees living in their cars because they drove up the price of housing in the city when they moved there. Fuck Amazon, and Fuck Bill Gates, whose house is on the Seattle tour. Amazon and its entirety, as well as the idea of having Bill Gate's house on a tourist tour is symptomatic of the almost intractable systemic economic inequities in the US. It is more dangerous and obscene than anything you might see in CR. Costa Rica is a gem. Small country with just a few national identities. There will usually be conflict, but you don't have to engage in it. You don't have to be afraid. Just be gracious and use common sense. There are about 8 indigenous communities that are self-sustaining. Other than that, there are Ticos and people who live in Limon, and European and US ex-Pats. There is a reason why so many "western countries" go to CR. It's peaceful. They took all that money spent on the military and put it into education and healthcare. It has a higher literacy rate than the US...and we are such brag about being so great. Switzerland Schmitzerland...what is so great about that country? CR is gorgeous. I have NEVER heard anyone badmouth CR until now. Maybe you are the kookaboo one.
@@jschuler53 I have a lot of years of experience with San Jose and Costa Rica. Central San Jose can even be dangerous in day time for people with drawing a lot of cash from a bank. Nobody wants to be downtown at night or live there. Limon is worse. Costa Rica seems charming for a vacation, but I would not live there. I live in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico which is much safer and lively and functional than any city in Costa rica.
Qué pasa aquí? Soy español y sinceramente no veo tan fea la ciudad. A ver, no es la octava maravilla, pero es una ciudad bastante decentilla. Hay ciudades mil veces más feas en Latinoamérica que esta ciudad, que aunque no sea la maravilla, parece decentemente cuidada y con bastante vida. Dejaos las tonterías por favor.
patoso13 A mi me da asco la verdad, ya no está tan horrible pero igual San José sigue siendo feo, el problema es que muchos van a San José pensando que es lo único que hay en el país cuando es lo más feo del país
patoso13 gracias por tu comentario! Sj tiene ello suyo! Y ese es solo el casco central, estoy de acuerdo con vos que es mejor que muchas otras de Latinoamérica. Sj tiene otros barrios con mucha influencia europea, Escalante, amon, otoya! Saludos :)
Como puedes decir que otras ciudades de Latinoamérica son feas no debes de insultar te crees tanto solo porque eres de Europa! tienes muy mal la cabeza en serio.
Bueno, hace 2 días estaba en chepe (como le decimos) y es que es incómodo que haya muchas personas, aparte de contaminación y edificios viejos, es cierto que muchas cosas han cambiado desde que se tomo el video!
Que pena que muchos extranjeros juzguen una ciudad e incluso un país por 15 minutos de video. Eso demuestra su poca cultura y su poca capacidad de raciocinio.El señor de este video solo caminó cuatro cuadras por una avenida y se devolvió las mismas cuatro cuadras por la misma avenida, le faltó mucho por filmar, toda la parte este, llena de barrios de los primeros años de San José, la parte norte y sur, el oeste donde hay grandes edificios y parques recreativos, en donde están lugares como Sabana y Escazú que se le podría llamar la zona rosa de San José. Por unas cuadras que caminó, se le han dado a San José, sin conocerlo realmente, toda clase de insultos.RESPETO POR FAVOR si quieren respeto para sus países.

Soy de Costa Rica y he vivido en San José a unos 20mimutos del centro toda mi vida, si sos turista mi mejor consejo es alejense de San José centro tiene muy poco que ofrecer, lamentablemente la gente contamina a pesar de los miles de basureros donde depositar la basura correctamente y hay mucha delincuencia aunque ahora hayan más policías que antes y se sienta un poco más seguro. vayan a monteverde, roca bruja, puerto viejo Talamanca, a parques nacionales, ahora hay mucho ecoturismo, busquen cataratas o tours de un dia en caballo por la montaña, rafting en el pacuare o aguas termales en en el arenal, senderismo, tours de cuadras en playas o en montaña, cataratas, lo que sea lejos de la ciudad, San José centro lamentablemente es tierra de nadie, aún hay tiempo para luchar por una buena cultura y un buen manejo de los residuos, seamos un país ejemplar donde encontramos paisajes limpios donde vayamos no nos hundamos el no progreso y en el inservible pensar de que el gobierno se tiene que se hacer cargo de todos los problemas, si todos hacemos algo a grandes rasgos se notará la diferencia una muy grande y grata.
No creas, San José tiene museos muy atractivos turísticamente, el de Oro, el de Jade y hasta el Museo Nacional... edifcios.. noo.. solo el Teatro nacional y la arquitectura del edificio de Correos, la igelesia la Merced.. y ahora sí.. chao de San José..
@@shirleyguerrero9320 Gracias por el video, reconozco mucho (parque Centra, Hotel Costa Rica, El Teatro Nacional y mucho más, pero cambiado) el recorrido es el del centro a nuestra casa cerca de la casa de Matute Gómez
hola ....tal vez tenga que irme a vivir a costa rica no estoy segura aun ... soy de México , y quisiera saber que tal esta la economía y la seguridad haya ...
GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO, ME HE REIDO COMO NUNCA VIENDO LA CAPITAL TICA. PARECE UN CUCHITRIL GIGANTE. PENSE QUE IBA A VER SOLO GENTE BLANCA ELEGANTEMENTE VESTIDA Y PURA MODA"EUROPEA"? NADA QUE VER! 😁
Soy tica (Costarricense) y me duele mucho que algunas personas juzguen de esa forma a mi pais si quieren buscar lugar en donde pasar sus vacaciones en familia es en Costa Rica no se si han visto que aqui llegan muchisimos Estadounidenses solo para ver nuestro bello pais !
@Eduardo G. Ya no!! Ya desde hace 6 años la gente no va y te puedo decir que hay gente inmensamente rica pero mucha gente clase media y pobres como se ven en este video menos del 30 % nuestros estándares de pobreza se miden bajo las normas de América del Norte!!
Costa Rica un país en avance como los demás. Un país lindo y de gente noble. Todo el que habla mal de su país del pueblo que lo vio nacer... ""Habla mal de el mismo "". xiomara
Una cosa es hablar mal y otra hacer auto criticas para mejorar ...lo malo es que un ciudadano no tiene ese poder como lo tiene un alcalde que se gasta la plata en un desfile de la luz(a la mañana siguiente es un asco la calle) en ves de mejorar s calles :(
I don't get it. Some of the people are wearing shorts and sleeveless tops and others are wearing sweaters and knit caps and what look like winter coats to me. I don't get it. What time of year is it there when this video was shot?
I know people who have been there. They all say the same thing, it's marketed as safe and wonderful but it's neither. Over-priced, piece of shit country with shit people.
que bonito es san jose, yo soy salvadoreño vivo en canada, ydesde niño siempre decie mucho conocer san jose costarica, al rato me ire a vivir por alla, porque aqui en canada es bonito mas que ce ntro america, pero es muy helado el clima con temperaturas de 20 grados bajo cero en invierno,y en verano es fresco con temperaturas de 15 grados centigrados
One more thing. If you go to Westwood in west Los Angeles everything is pretty, but if you go to Downtown Los Angeles that's a different story. Don't judge Costa Rica by San Jose. Go to Escazu and it's radically different. Go to the beaches in the Pacific and you'll want to live there. Just make sure you have dollars instead of an income in colones!
Man....all the people here trash-talking CR are all Hispanic. Thats why we have more love for tourists over there. Im from Los Angeles and most Hispanics, Hispanic-Americans cant even point CR or other countries on a map!!! 😂

As a costarrican im the first one to admit San Jose is quite an ugly city, and i avoid going there as much as i can. If you are a turist go to the beaches or the forests, there is nothing to see in San Jose.

Nicest people I've ever met in my life live in Costa Rica. They treated us like family there. Very open-hearted, tight-knit communities. Thank you, Costa Rica! :)

Thank you, yes, people will always treat you well
Hello dear
First went there in 2007. When I retired in 2011, I moved to San Jose. Stayed for 5 years. Had to return to the US to help family. If not I would still be there. Loved every minute of it. Beautiful country and beautiful people.
I lived there (Costa Rica) for almost half my life....it's a wonderful place with wonderful people.

I am Costa Rican. Costa Rica has some beautiful areas, but this video is showing downtown San Jose, which I would NOT recommend to any tourist. Unfortunately there is nothing nice to see there. To see the beautiful places go visit the volcanos, the national parks, Monte Verde and the beaches on the Pacific Ocean; however, do not waste your time going to Puntarenas unless is to catch the ferry. Some of the most beautiful beaches are Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Samara, Malpais. I would NOT recommend the Caribean side. There are some nice beaches there, but the area is a little dangerous. So to keep it safe, avoid that area.
I agree
Not particularly racist. There is some xenophobia against Nicaraguans, and some other immigrants, but in general it's not a huge problem. People do expect tourists to be white since most visitors come from North America and Europe, but not being white will not be a problem whatsoever.
Inspired, I have lived here more than 15 years, I believe it is very racist. There are many very good people here, but many are deepñy racist, sadly this includes my lady friend who now owns all my property because I trusted her. she has since robbed me blind
+inspired4good It is a very racist country in facts.

Idk whats wrong with all these people cutting down San Jose... if you want the States then stay there!!! I love downtown... I go at least 2-3 times a month... Best food in town and you sit next to a local cab driver and rub elbows talking about your day with him... I love the smells in the market... fresh comino being ground, tortillas de queso on the stovetop, a lady slicing open a pineapple handing u a piece trying to sell it to you... You can't get that in the States... I love this country and I wouldn't leave it... I love the people... This is home for me... I love the hustle and bustle... the street smells and vendors on every corner... The ticos got it right... Keep the costcos and the like... I love this country...
one of the best cities in Latin America!

Personalmente me parece una ciudad como cualquier otra, tal vez mas limpia y ordenada que otras de latinoamerica. La gente es muy respetuosa. Cabe resaltar
la educación de los costarricenses es una de las mejores de latinoamerica, su sistema
judicial, NO HAY EJERCITO (me parece fabuloso) la conservacion de su medio ambiente, es algo digno de admirar. P.D. NO SOY TICO, MI ESPOSA NO ES TICA, NI TINGO NINGUN FAMILIAR TICO, PERO SI UN PROFUNDO RESPETO POR TAN LINDO PAIS.

I have been to Costa Rica 11 times for stays of 1-4 weeks since 1996. I have been to several areas of the country and disagree with some who say stay away from San Jose. It's a big city, so sure, be aware of your space and surroundings, but don't be afraid to go there.There are plenty of things to see and do, including catching a performance at the National Theater or visiting the museums. Food? Don't worry, places like Café Mundo and others will give you a fine meal with excellent service at a reasonable price.Finally, don't fail to interact with the Costa Rican people. I have found them to be good natured, welcoming, and willing to be helpful. Besides, they like to have fun like everybody else.

Soy un nicaragüense Costa Rica es mi segundo país cuando nesecite de ese hermoso país meabriero las puertas en 1978 merefugie y me trataron muy bien mis hermanos ricos grasias hermanos Costa Rica es muy bella la amo a no meablen mal de heya
Que bueno que esta el vídeo, soy de Costa Rica y es exactamente así como se vive en el puro centro de la capital. Es exactamente la parte menos bonita de Costa Rica, y sin embargo, se puede caminar con tranquilidad y paz como tu lo has hecho.
Estuve en San José en febrero de 2017. Me pareció una ciudad caótica, sucia, insegura. Lamento que un país tan bello tenga una capital en esas condiciones. Invito a los habitantes de San José a exigir a sus gobernantes que pongan orden en esta ciudad. Es una ciudad cara y no ofrece buena calidad de vida. Especialmente el centro de la ciudad es lo peor. Costa Rica ha desarrollado bastante el turismo, tiene grandes entradas por este concepto. Pero están perdiendo una gran oportunidad de generar turismo en su capital. Después entendí la razón por la cual el guía que contratamos no quería por ninguna razón que nos quedáramos en San José. Creo que los mismos ticos sienten vergüenza de su capital. Lo único que disfruté fueron los museos. Especialmente el museo del jade. Es absolutamente bello!!!
Hey what's up
Yo como tico me da pena la capital es un asco, pero ahora están mejorando construyendo torres modernas y mas
Asi es no me gusto para nada san jose me robaron 30mil colones del bosilllo magicamente fui a monte verde aya estube tranquilo heredia pero san jose muchos ladrones en la calle
Es feo, pero no es caótico, y se vive muy bien, gracias por no volver, adiós
Tiene partes feas y bonitas, mucho descuido al patrimonio arquitectónico ya que todo el presupuesto para esas y otras cosas se lo pasan entre todos por debajo de la mesa, ha perdido mucho legado cultural este país por eso mismo... Por que de tener potencial lo tiene bastante pero sin una purga de corruptos del gobierno dudo mucho que se vaya a embellecer el panorama josefino...
Wow !
I am Salvadoran, originally. But I'd like to visit Costa Rica. Now I'm in the United States but I have always wanted to visit this amazing country and its beautiful girls and have a lot of fun, if you know what I'm saying. Aww I'm sure I'll visit it, someday.
Costa Rica is one of the most advanced countries in Central America followed by El Salvador.
God bless you and see you so soon
Solo puedo decir que es el pais que me vio nacer hace 68 años y no puedo sacarlo de mi corazón por muchas cosas que han cambiado, pero es mi gente, mis juegos de trompo, las posas, mi escuela primaria y mi Liceo donde nos formamos con valores que aunque se han querido desaparecer todavía existe gente linda y sencilla que conserva el disfrutar un cafecito caliente con una cuna o un gato, comerse un galllopintico con huevitos del patio, el respeto a los mayores, ir a la avenida central a tirarle confeti a las chiquillas que nos gustaban, el desfile de faroles, en fin son muchos los recuerdos que encierra ese chivisima país, y aunque haya mucha opinión y crítica es el pais mas lindo del mundo y nunca dejare de quererlo. Vivan siempre el trabajo y la paz !

Mira no me parecio tan bonita pero..... es normal por alguna razon en centroamerica las capitales no son tan bonitas pero el resto del pais siempre es HERMOSO
Thank you so Very Much for this Video! This brings back so many memories- Lived in Costa Rica 1966-1981 Incredible Thank you Kindly!
You took a good deal of video and I felt as if I had gone along with you. Thank You!! This is really cool. I'm 47 and thinking about the next 10 years and the possibility of living in CR
Where do you think is best? This seems a bit too cold for me.
You're welcome if you want to come here!
El mejor país de centroamerica para mí que los conocí a todos, puede haber opiniones distintas pero para mi Costa Rica el mejor de la región.
Qué pena. Acabo de llegar de CR y me encanto!! Pero volveré pronto y te tomaré en cuenta. Pura vida! Mae

Hola querida, como estas, te deseo un gran dia feliz💋💓
I was born in Limon,Costa Rica and lived in New York since I was 3yrs. old. Have not been back since i was 10yrs. and i really don't know much about were i was born. Downtown remind me of like chinatown in Mannhattan. Thanks for taking the time to post the real streets of CR and not what the tourist company show. I will be going back to visit family real soon.
I love Costa Rica, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too and I have traveled the world. I especially love the food and the people. Very respectful and loving people here in Costa Rica..
hve you gone ro nicaragua its relly beautiful i recommend going to catarina, bluefield and corn island ooh and ojo de agua
larech sandoval lizano if its as beautiful as you I will be there..
+Private Person thanks, well for me Nicaragua its a beautiful country, people out there are really humble take my word for it, i have gone there plenty of times so i can know how beautiful Nicaragua is and how humble are the people there i recommend it a lot go to granada its really nice during the night at the calle la calzada there are a lot of bars and restaurante there i heard leon is really pretty but hotter than the rest of Nicaragua, fyi Nicaragua is a really hot country i suggest taking a lot of shorts sleeveles shirts and sun block if you don't like getting sun burn.
larech sandoval lizano Thank you Larech for the information, when I come back to Costa Rica as (I love this country best) I will make effort to stop in Nicaragua. Nicaragua being next to Costa Rica there it is evident that there are a lot of people from Nicaragua in Costa Rica as well, seems that they migrated in Costa Rica due it being a better economy, nevertheless I can imagine how beautiful Nicaragua is too and the people. Thanks for sharing
yeah there is a lot of people in costa rica in nicaragua they think its better here to come and work i disagree honestly everyrhing is so expensive things you can get a dollar store you get in costa rica for about 3-4 dollars meals from fast food double the price from the states, i have seen pants that are cheqp quality about 40-80 dollars here and in the us are around 10-15 dollars. i would rather from nicaragua move to panama its a cheap country and they get paid better than costa rica or nicaragua
Thank you for sharing your interesting and natural walk. What an atmospheric place. As we do gopro walks too in soulful places in Europe it's always lovely to see places further afield that we may never get to go to, we enjoyed absorbing the atmosphere and have subscribed.
Es increible la cantidad de gente que hay en ese downtown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Las calles bastante limpias considerando los miles y miles de personas que caminan por ellas. Buen video
Whats the name of that beautiful song the street musician was playing ? If you know please tell me so I can listen to the whole thing. Thanks
estuve en el año 1992 y pase buenos momentos Costa Rica un pais
muy bonito espero poder regresar algun dia
Costa Rica ha cambiado mucho, amo mi país pero no soy ciega. Los gobernantes dejan entrar cualquier indeseable no tienen un control de la gente mañoza y también los nacionales matan por cualquier cantidad de plata se han adueñado del país y el Gobierno como que no,es con ellos, y los ticos que no hacemos nada. Pero cuando puedas visita Costa Rica eres Bienvenido
Aaaaa y trae mucha plata porque esta todo carísimo que pena pero es la verdad!!!
Aquí biene y traiga buen dinero porque es unos de los más caro s que hay no se imaginas y ta ahora es muy peligroso
Según tu es Inglaterra alli
Hello what's up
Very nice. Every part of this video I've walked. Except when you left San Jose. But it was awesome to see some1 filmed this. I loved it. I'm born & and raised in U.S.A. & I'm also Costa Rican. I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking for my mom & grandmom walking around near ''el edificio del correo'' area. One thing I noticed is the police presence and the ''scaffold'' looking police station. About time. It's also to prevent vendors outside stores.Anyway, thumbs up for a gr8 video!!
OMG! so many people in the city!! It makes me motion sickness already! ;D Thanks for sharing! Una japones vivo en cancun, Mexico
OMG how about Japan , there is a lots more people .
Bernie Viquez I went to Tokyo Japan last year and they had a lot of people. I didn’t even bother to rent a car
Nice video, no blah blah no music, just life pure and simple, i love it, subscribed and thumb up
Tuve la suerte de viajar con toda mi familia a Costa Rica la capital no tuvimos mucha oportunidad de conocer solamente los museos pero fuimos a Monteverde contactaste Fortuna Puntarenas San José un poco y mucho en Cartago donde reside my familia el país nos encantó ah también los volcanes de Irazu lindo país
Ke lindo costs ttica kiero ir soy de onduras bay
saludos desde Venezuela,felicitaciones esta muy bueno tu vídeo, me podrías recomendar según tu experiencia algún hotel,o pensión para una estadía de 7 días?de antemano gracias¡¡¡
Que buen video, pude conocer algo d Costa rica y la sociedad, y por momentos una d esas peatonales se parece tambien a la peatonal Florida d Buenos Aires, Argentina q parecido somos los latinos, saludos y q viva la America latina
Is it customary to go right through red lights and stop signs?
I might do that myself out in the country where you can see quite
a ways in both directions, but not in downtown.
Me encanto, es una Ciudad muy movida por lo que se ve, quiero ir!!!

Gente hermosa, cálida y sencilla cada vez que voy paseo por todo San José, las iglesias y los teatros, el museo de los niños excelente capital soy Venezuela y mi familia vive toda allá pura vida.
Es un video sobre el centro de San Jose en Costa Rica, nada mas ni menos. No es mi intencion de dejar mal a este maravilloso pais. Y obviamente tiene una naturaleza preciosa. Y de hecho: a mi me ha gustado la estancia en San Jose y moverme por el centro. No hay nada de que avergonzarse. Espero poder haber aclarado este malentendido. Gracias por ver el video. :)
Superb video, valuable information, liked it very much, thank you
From my experience, i traveled last month to costarica, my impression was as many people here said, especially san jose it is definitely not safe like in Europe since iam german, also when you go out from san jose you dont feel secure because of the way drive and the ugly streets around san jose , in the night i never dared to go san jose because it is simply not attracting for visitor to walk in its streets, i took buses there , it was ok punctual but not comfortable at all and because of the traffic the buses can be a hell journey to travel with, taking taxis is also kind of expensive and talking about money, costarica is most expensive country i guess , even most rich countries in Europe are not expensive as costarica when it comes to food it’s unfortunately poor quality and very expensive except some local products like tropical fruits! A small bottle of water cost 4 euros which is 5$ unbelievable , to have nice meal you need minimum to pay 20€ which quite expensive, but service in restaurant was good and people generally were friendly and ready to help, i cant imagine i was able to stay more than a week there if i was not hosted by very nice local Costarican person who was my guide to see most beautiful places of costarica !
I feel bad when many people dont feel confortable because this country is very expensive and is not safe in many parts of the city but CR is very beautiful
I HOPE you not coming back never , stay in german , I know a bunch of german living here , why?????
El GERMANY...you have got to be kidding. You sound like the most fearful person on earth. Afraid in Costa Rica? LOL. How about your beloved Europe, while you are there, try London as the Brexit out because they are so racist they hate immigrants and are confused and people are rebelling in the streets, etc, etc. Pretty much like the US. We need to re-think the concept of First World and Third World Countries. CR is a first world country. I don't know where you ate there but you can spend as little or as much as you like. Have some adventure or go back to Germany, where it's safe.
oui c'est très cher, je suis costaricienne et j'habite maintenant en Belgique et les prix des choses sont moins cher en Belgique qu'au Costa Rica, c'est dommage

This is just the center of the city, the rest of the country has all of those (: !
Me and girlfriend are thinking of moving to Central America can anyone tell if Costa Rica is a good place to start a family, I seen pictures and if looks beautiful and lots of place I'd love to explore but I've heard that crime as become huge in Costa Rica, my friend lived in CR for about 3 years with her family and she really enjoyed it and lots of cool wildlife and beautiful places to visit but her house was broken into twice but it doesn't sound that bad but its something to think about.. So if anyone can reply it would be much appreciated and be a bit reasonable though 😋
I would recommend you cross central america by bus first like I did. It does not cost much to go from Mexico City to Panama City. It is a 3 day bus ride from Tapachula-Mexico to Panama. I definitely would be starting the bus ride from Mexico City to include Mexico. Please view my tica bus videos for Landscapes or other videos about Mexico. Thanks for watching :)
OK thanks..
sounds like your friends house wasn't properly secured. When I lived in Woodstock, NY where crime is probably 10 times worse than CR I warded off a criminal break in by making sure all my windows and doors were break-in proof. They came that same night and couldn't get in. Junkies. In CR most police don't carry guns, the people are very friendly to people from el norte. I loved CR, may retire there. It's safer by far than most places and in their constitution war is forbidden. Beware however of all the tourists from up north and Europe, Canada and Australia. They are all over the place down there and Americans own a lot of land and some think they own Costa Rica. BTW it is very family oriented and very soon after your arrival you will be invited to dinner at some familie's home. There is very little hate there and there's lots of love. Definitely check it out!
OK thanks for replying its really appreciated 😊
BTW If you're in San Jose you can stay at this really cool youth hostel until you get your bearings. From there are shops and restaurants, and live music in Central Park. Go to Central Park. If you want to go to a very nice beach tourist area on the azure blue Pacific, take bus to Manuel de Antonio where they have cabinas and beach hotels. The tropical forest there is awesome and the fruit and veggie sellers, palm trees, wow; if you go to the Caribbean coast though, keep your pack nailed to your body. Poor Ticos don't want to hurt you; they may just want your pack, but I never ran into any trouble. Did you know you have to have both a passport and visa stamp? You get it at the closest Costa Rican consulate. It may be good to pair up with other tourists whom you trust. Also, are you aware of how the seasons are turned around 180 degrees. I went in October from Mpls., MN where temp was -30, and when I landed in CR it was summer, in the 90s. They have two seasons, rainy and not-rainy, 6 months each. It's rainy now, July, but its summer in October. The general vibe throughout the country is one of respect.
Did you have your camera up and were looking through the view finder the whole time? or were you just holding it in your hand? i'm curious, because i'm always worried about getting it stolen as i walk around the streets.
This isin't Chicago man
Soy brasileño y tengo ganas de conocer Costa Rica, tengo amigo ticos, y són personas muy amables. Saludo hermanos, desde Brasil.

People with money don´t tend to live in central San Jose. It´s not much of a city - very suburban. Central downtown San Jose is dangerous at night. Never take out a large amount of cash from a bank teller there. They have contacts on the outside who mug the clients after they leave the banks. I´m so glad I have severed ties with Costa Rica because of the dishonesty and disorganization.
Paul, I'm pretty sure, from reports I've seen in Filipino tv news, that that's a common occurrence in the Philippines, as well. So many cases of people picking-up large cash deposits at banks then being robbed moments after they exit the bank.
doesnt matter which city in the world you in, if you take a large amount of cash from cashpoint your going to ask for trouble. San Hose is a great city and safe if your street wise and not stupid enough to wear bright clothes and fancy items (jewelery etc). ive been there a couple times and is one of my favourite cities, very vibrant and characteristic.
After 18 years of experience with San Jose, Costa Rica, I´m glad to be finished with it. To me it has no safe, decent downtown. I feel safe in any first world city, except many US inner cities. I now live in Merida, Mexico which is a major city with a lively downtown- day and night - and much safer than San Jose or US major cities.
@@PaulBeet Many surveys about the most dangerous cities in the world always have Latin American and So Am countries and cities at the very top of the list. But never Costa Rica, never San Jose. We are talking about Managua, very violent Guatemala. But also places Columbia. I agree about US cities, among the world's most dangerous cities is always East St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, border towns in TX, South Central LA--the largest gang territories in the US. Even in beautiful Seattle, there is the US's largest homeless population and it keeps growing. Seattle does not arrest or harass the homeless. They help them, and they are trying to figure out a permanent solution, but Amazon keeps stopping the city. Who do they think they are? They and places like them will contribute heavily to US downfall economy. Amazon is an awful company--with many of their entry level employees living in their cars because they drove up the price of housing in the city when they moved there. Fuck Amazon, and Fuck Bill Gates, whose house is on the Seattle tour. Amazon and its entirety, as well as the idea of having Bill Gate's house on a tourist tour is symptomatic of the almost intractable systemic economic inequities in the US. It is more dangerous and obscene than anything you might see in CR. Costa Rica is a gem. Small country with just a few national identities. There will usually be conflict, but you don't have to engage in it. You don't have to be afraid. Just be gracious and use common sense. There are about 8 indigenous communities that are self-sustaining. Other than that, there are Ticos and people who live in Limon, and European and US ex-Pats. There is a reason why so many "western countries" go to CR. It's peaceful. They took all that money spent on the military and put it into education and healthcare. It has a higher literacy rate than the US...and we are such brag about being so great. Switzerland Schmitzerland...what is so great about that country? CR is gorgeous. I have NEVER heard anyone badmouth CR until now. Maybe you are the kookaboo one.
@@jschuler53 I have a lot of years of experience with San Jose and Costa Rica. Central San Jose can even be dangerous in day time for people with drawing a lot of cash from a bank. Nobody wants to be downtown at night or live there. Limon is worse. Costa Rica seems charming for a vacation, but I would not live there. I live in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico which is much safer and lively and functional than any city in Costa rica.
es muy hermoso tube el placer de conocerlo hace 2 anos por cuestiones de trabajo , es muy tranquilo y la gente es muy amable
Qué pasa aquí? Soy español y sinceramente no veo tan fea la ciudad. A ver, no es la octava maravilla, pero es una ciudad bastante decentilla. Hay ciudades mil veces más feas en Latinoamérica que esta ciudad, que aunque no sea la maravilla, parece decentemente cuidada y con bastante vida. Dejaos las tonterías por favor.
patoso13
A mi me da asco la verdad, ya no está tan horrible pero igual San José sigue siendo feo, el problema es que muchos van a San José pensando que es lo único que hay en el país cuando es lo más feo del país
patoso13 gracias por tu comentario! Sj tiene ello suyo! Y ese es solo el casco central, estoy de acuerdo con vos que es mejor que muchas otras de Latinoamérica. Sj tiene otros barrios con mucha influencia europea, Escalante, amon, otoya! Saludos :)
San José no es particularmente la cuidad más bonita de Costa Rica ,existen mejores lugares mas llenos tranquilidad y menos movimiento.
Como puedes decir que otras ciudades de Latinoamérica son feas no debes de insultar te crees tanto solo porque eres de Europa! tienes muy mal la cabeza en serio.
Bueno, hace 2 días estaba en chepe (como le decimos) y es que es incómodo que haya muchas personas, aparte de contaminación y edificios viejos, es cierto que muchas cosas han cambiado desde que se tomo el video!
Hey es permitido pasarse en luz roja y no parar en las señales de alto? solo una preguntica.
Que pena que muchos extranjeros juzguen una ciudad e incluso un país por 15 minutos de video. Eso demuestra su poca cultura y su poca capacidad de raciocinio.El señor de este video solo caminó cuatro cuadras por una avenida y se devolvió las mismas cuatro cuadras por la misma avenida, le faltó mucho por filmar, toda la parte este, llena de barrios de los primeros años de San José, la parte norte y sur, el oeste donde hay grandes edificios y parques recreativos, en donde están lugares como Sabana y Escazú que se le podría llamar la zona rosa de San José. Por unas cuadras que caminó, se le han dado a San José, sin conocerlo realmente, toda clase de insultos.RESPETO POR FAVOR si quieren respeto para sus países.

Soy de Costa Rica y he vivido en San José a unos 20mimutos del centro toda mi vida, si sos turista mi mejor consejo es alejense de San José centro tiene muy poco que ofrecer, lamentablemente la gente contamina a pesar de los miles de basureros donde depositar la basura correctamente y hay mucha delincuencia aunque ahora hayan más policías que antes y se sienta un poco más seguro. vayan a monteverde, roca bruja, puerto viejo Talamanca, a parques nacionales, ahora hay mucho ecoturismo, busquen cataratas o tours de un dia en caballo por la montaña, rafting en el pacuare o aguas termales en en el arenal, senderismo, tours de cuadras en playas o en montaña, cataratas, lo que sea lejos de la ciudad, San José centro lamentablemente es tierra de nadie, aún hay tiempo para luchar por una buena cultura y un buen manejo de los residuos, seamos un país ejemplar donde encontramos paisajes limpios donde vayamos no nos hundamos el no progreso y en el inservible pensar de que el gobierno se tiene que se hacer cargo de todos los problemas, si todos hacemos algo a grandes rasgos se notará la diferencia una muy grande y grata.
No creas, San José tiene museos muy atractivos turísticamente, el de Oro, el de Jade y hasta el Museo Nacional... edifcios.. noo.. solo el Teatro nacional y la arquitectura del edificio de Correos, la igelesia la Merced.. y ahora sí.. chao de San José..
Muy bonito costa rica , Alegre atmósfera y muchisima jente. Ningun paiz es perfecto .

I don't get it. Some of the people are wearing shorts and sleeveless tops and others are wearing sweaters and knit caps and what look like winter coats to me. I don't get it. What time of year is it there when this video was shot?
Is Costa Rica safe for a Scandinavian tourist?
yes, it's one the safest countries in latin america
mr. tego you are better of in your own country or you can get a bodyguard if you want safety
you betcha Costa Rica is safe.
I know people who have been there. They all say the same thing, it's marketed as safe and wonderful but it's neither. Over-priced, piece of shit country with shit people.

que bonito es san jose, yo soy salvadoreño vivo en canada, ydesde niño siempre decie mucho conocer san jose costarica, al rato me ire a vivir por alla, porque aqui en canada es bonito mas que ce ntro america, pero es muy helado el clima con temperaturas de 20 grados bajo cero en invierno,y en verano es fresco con temperaturas de 15 grados centigrados
One more thing. If you go to Westwood in west Los Angeles everything is pretty, but if you go to Downtown Los Angeles that's a different story. Don't judge Costa Rica by San Jose. Go to Escazu and it's radically different. Go to the beaches in the Pacific and you'll want to live there. Just make sure you have dollars instead of an income in colones!
Man....all the people here trash-talking CR are all Hispanic. Thats why we have more love for tourists over there. Im from Los Angeles and most Hispanics, Hispanic-Americans cant even point CR or other countries on a map!!! 😂
hey what camera did you use to film this. the quality is great
Thanks for watching, the camera was a Panasonic HDC-SD700.

but ill be going back this december and i wanted to show my younger bro since it will be his first time there..

viajo a Costa Rica todos los anos y nunca me canso de ir es mi pais y amo a mi familia
My city where I grew up, I miss this people social interaction, not the heavy vehicle traffic. Food is the best, there in the Mercado or in a fine restaurant if you go to the other side of town near the National Theater. Pura Vida amigos!
Gracias para todas las personas que aprecian mis dos paises nicaragua y costa Rica tiene bellos centros turisticos para todas las clases bendiciones para todos
You did a great job with the video. I have walked those streets many times.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy.

As a costarrican im the first one to admit San Jose is quite an ugly city, and i avoid going there as much as i can. If you are a turist go to the beaches or the forests, there is nothing to see in San Jose.
dear Tica1965.....................what areas of Costa Rica would you recommend for me to visit , and also the capital of San Jose , I think its a beautiful city........anyway would love to hear what you recommend ! thank you in advance.
Obrigado por assistir o vídeo e um abraço do México! :)
