People on the 'reception' was very friendly too. Worth it 💯! If you in Costa Rica, go for it! And I do recommend to go for the evening slot (4pm), as it is not so hot and you will be watch the sunset.

We finished our river tour watching the sunset where the river meets the ocean. The two guys were incredible, one was explaining everything to us in English, so knowledge with fun stories! And the other was driving the boat and feeding crocs with meat from his hands! Incredible! When the crocodile wasn't there - he was spending some time to call him so they can be demonstrated to us 👏👏👏Īfter we saw all the crocs we could, we went to the mangroves, again, followed with interesting information. What an great evening experience!!! 🔥🤩 We found this attraction suddenly on google, arrived, they have checked the availability, booked it next available slot (same evening), pain and went on the boat! We were so lucky to have all the boat just for us, as other guys didn't showed up. I strongly recommend everyone to visit this magnificent building. He wanted to remind the rich that the lower classes were the ones who build that jewel. It depicts a woman with and infant on her laps representing misery. In fact there is only one sculpture inside the lobby area which was built by a Costa Rican artist. The vast majority of sculptures and paintings were done by Italian artists. The rich people did not know that the best acoustic and view of the orchestra was being enjoyed by the ones on the isolated floor with wooden pews. The richest people did not want to share the floor with the poorest ones, so a third floor was built with exterior separate entrances to those lower classes. The ones in power, were the owners of the coffee plantations, the provided a small percentage of money to build this master piece, the biggest part was provided by the lower classes via taxes. It was built on the Oligarquía Cafetalera era, to be more precise by the lower class.

This National Theater is without a doubt a national treasure that holds the past trapped within its walls.

One of our most beautiful and iconic buildings ever built.
