Costa Rica Things to Do

San Jose, Costa Rica’s Christmas celebrations are already off to a fine start, now that the Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) hasluminated the capital with glowing floats and electric live performances. Sure, Christmas itself is a bit more low-key here than in the USA or Europe; businesses usually shut down early on Christmas Eve, so friends and families can enjoy a festive evening and Midnight Mass, with most opening up again Christmas afternoon or the following day.
