San Isidro del General
Situated at the base of Costa Rica’s fertile Mountain Peaks region, the bustling metropolis of San Isidro del General is the gateway to southern Costa Rica. From San Jose, the scenic Interamerican Highway gradually climbs over the Talamanca Mountains, crossing the Cerro de la Muerte before steeply descending into a lush river valley that is home to San Isidro del General.
