About San Jose

San Jose covers an area of 3.7 sq. miles (9.47 sq. Km) and is estimated to have a population of 1.6 million people being the capital and largest city of Costa Rica, and is at the heart of the sprawling Gran Area Metropolitana or GAM in the Central Valley.

Shopping

Part working jewelry factory, part shopping center, part tourist trap, this is still a good place to come to buy replicas of pre-Columbian jewelry. The several shops here carry a wide range of typical tourist souvenirs and locally produced arts and craftworks at fair prices. Visitors are treated to a 15-minute guided tour where you can see some of the jewelry being manufactured.
