San Jose, the country’s capital and primary city, has plenty to offer tourists interested in its history, natural and aesthetic assets, and thriving nightlife. Given that this is the capital, hope for a thriving Homosexual culture with bars, clubs, companies, hotels, and even two community centers. If there is a gay scene in this country, love in any other, it will most likely be centered in and around the country’s capital city.
