Costa Rica is known for its Eco Lodges, volcanos, zip lining and wildlife. We also saw a lot of art on this trip. We started our trip in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, visiting the Central Park and the National Theater. There was art every where!
A pedestrian street flanked by government buildings lead us to the the Central Park of San Jose. As we reached the park, Erich and I spotted the same sculpture at the same time...what is that over there? We waited impatiently for the tour guide to let us free and we made a beeline to the three men coming up out of the ground.
Over by the National Theater were more sculptures. They were really cool, made by the artist Jimenez Deredia. His sculptures were sprinkled throughout the city center of San Jose. https://deredia.com/en/
Further down the shopping district was this colorful building...
On our last night in Santa Ana, a suburb of San Jose, we had a fantastic meal and then visited the boutique hotel next door to the restaurant. The owner collects art and displays it in the lobby, the bar and the hallways where the rooms are. Our group was on the loud side as we climbed the stairs to each floor admiring the art, hopefully we were not disturbing the guests.
