Our Opinion
Coronado offers a lively cultural scene just waiting to be discovered due to its proximity to San José, its gothic cathedral, cultural institutions, and abundant cafes, restaurant and markets. Buses conveniently run every 20-30 minutes from Coronado to Costa Rica's capital city. Coronado is also a very safe, green, clean and friendly city, making it a very comfortable place for anyone to stay and study.
