Introducing Guápiles & Around
This pretty, prosperous town in the northern foothills of the Cordillera Central is the transport center for the Río Frío banana-growing region. Some 60km northeast of San José, Guápiles is a bustling place, its main streets lined with shopping centers and other services. A lively agricultural market takes place on Saturdays.

Guápiles is about 1km north of Hwy 32. The two major streets are one way, running parallel to each other. Most of the services are located on the loop these streets make through the busy downtown. The convenient Café Internet Caribe (771 0631; per hr US$1; 8am-10:30pm) is opposite the bus terminal.
