We welcome you to our home in Cartago! Thank you Le damos la bienvenida a nuestro hogar en Cartago! Gracias
The house is in front of "Asembis" clinic. The neighborhood is one of the best places to stay in Cartago downtown. From here you can conveniently go to several places in Costa Rica since we are in Central Valley, 45min from San Jose, 2 hours from Puntarenas and an hour and a half from the airport. Nearby you can find supermarkets, pharmacies, gas station, restaurants, cafeterias etc
