Just
11km northeast of San José is the lively town of
Heredia, boosted by the student population of the Universidad
Nacional (UNA) at the eastern end of town. The town centre
is prettier than most, with a few historical buildings, though
a
bit run-down. It's a natural jumping-off point for excursions
to the nearby historical hamlet of Barva and to the town of
San José de la Montaña, gateway to Volcán
Barva . Many tourists also come for the Café Britt
Finca tour, hosted by the nation's largest coffee exporter,
about 3km north
of the town centre. Hostels in Heredia |
