Maraton Cartago

April in San Jose brings the tail end of the dry season, so you can trade the race-day adrenaline for a slow afternoon in the Jade Museum or a stroll through the leafy Sabana Park. When hunger hits, follow the locals to a sodas for a casado piled with rice, beans, and plantains, or grab a fresh tropical fruit batido from a street cart. It's a chance to run, recharge, and taste the city's easygoing rhythm.
