Cartago
About 160 thousand people.
Cartago was the very first capital of Costa Rica and is one of its oldest cities. It rests at the foot of a tall volcano and is famous for its beautiful old church.
Visit the grand Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels, explore the ivy-covered ruins of an old church, and drive up to the giant Irazu Volcano to peek into its crater.

Old town
As the old first capital, Cartago has ancient church ruins that are now a peaceful garden full of flowers and birds.

Nature
The nearby Irazu Volcano is so tall that on a clear day you can see both oceans from the top.
