This province has a wonderful climate and lush surroundings and compared to the neighboring San Jose, Cartago offers a more laidback feel and gives you the chance to savor a more tranquil natural environment.

For a safe, comfortable and economical trip, a good travel option is to sightsee via a tourist bus.

The roads leading to Cartago are in good condition and make driving here a fantastic experience with so much to see along the way. The ideal region for a day trip, there are a number of interesting and fascinating places to see in Cartago such as the Volcanoes Irazu and Turrialba, the Lankaster Gardens, the lush Orosi Valley, the Monumento Nacional Guayabo and the Rios Reventazón and Pacuare.
