About 130 thousand people.

Heredia is a friendly city known as the City of Flowers, surrounded by green coffee farms. It has a lively university, so there are always young people around.
See the old stone tower called El Fortin in the main square, wander a real coffee plantation, and hike in the misty cloud forest of Braulio Carrillo park nearby.
Heredia is coffee country, so you can watch how coffee beans grow and even taste a warm cup fresh from the farm.
The green hills above Heredia are home to cloud forests where you might spot colorful birds and playful monkeys.
