Many overlook this beautiful area of Costa Rica, are you ready to explore?
You might not know this, but there's a big chance that if you're flying into Costa Rica, then Alajuela will be the very first place in Costa Rica you experience.
That's because Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO), the main international airport in Costa Rica, is in Alajuela, not in the capital city of San Jose. But Alajuela is more than just an airport. It's Costa Rica's second-largest city and a province in its own right.

We were in great hands from the moment we landed! Loved the excursions, hotels, and our driver “Marlon Brando.” You made everything smooth with great planning and thoughtful check-ins. Truly an enjoyable and worry-free trip!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
