It is the most populated of Costa Rica's seven provinces and is the seat of the nation's capital, the city of San Jose. And just like most of capitals, is the most industrialized and developed city of Costa Rica. It is located in the central part of the country where due to the elevation (2000 to 5000 ft.) we can enjoy one of the best weather conditions in the country. Here, days are between 60 to 75 Fº all year around. The Central Valley is also formed by Alajuela, Heredia and Cartago cities. Those four cities together have over two million Costarricans.
