Santa Maria de Dota

In the cool, mountainous highlands of south-central Costa Rica, a picturesque valley gives way to Santa Maria de Dota. This peaceful town once witnessed political unrest, when Jose "Pepe" Figueres headquartered his troops – and their prisoners – here in 1948. Today, the only sign of Santa Maria's partisan history are several memorials in the central park.
