Just ten
minutes from downtown
San Jose, Escazu
is an upscale suburb boasting
fabulous mountain views, a fresh
climate and modern shopping
plazas. It is considered one of
the most affluent San Jose neighborhoods and
is comprised of three
communities: San Rafael de
Escazu, Escazu Centro and San
Antonio de Escazu. Sprawled
across the Central Valley’s
rolling hills, Escazu overlooks
Heredia and
San Jose
and offers a peaceful
alternative to the hustle and
bustle of the capital city.
Escazu is
home to a large expatriate
population and has malls,
restaurants, hotels and other
businesses where English is
widely spoken. Visitors will
find beautifully-maintained
gated communities and a lavish
country club along with a public
18-hole golf course. Multiplaza
Escazu is one of the largest
shopping malls in Latin America and features a cinema playing the latest
blockbusters in English.
For a bit of
local flavor, Escazu Centro is
dotted with cozy Tico
restaurants (known as sodas),
where typical meals are
inexpensive, and Spanish is
still the language of choice.
The posh area around San Antonio
de Escazu is mostly residential
and attracts wealthy Ticos and
North American retirees.
Escazu is
well-connected to all the main
highways and is an excellent
option for travelers based in
the
Central Valley. The area’s public
transportation is a cheap and
efficient way of traveling to
and from nearby tourist
attractions. In addition, some
of the country’s finest
restaurants, from Japanese to
Peruvian, can be found in
Escazu.
A wide range of accommodations

B&B’s to luxurious hotels with
stunning panoramic views. Many

volcanoes, hot springs,
botanical gardens or San Jose
museums. Top-notch hotels,
modern amenities and gourmet
restaurants make this San Jose
suburb a true cosmopolitan
destination.
