There’s something about Thursday that beckons us toward new horizons. Throughout history, this day has been considered auspicious for travel and fresh beginnings. In Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad would embark on journeys specifically on Thursdays, believing it brought success to endeavors. Today, modern travelers recognize Thursday as the gateway to adventure—fewer airport crowds, better prices, and the promise of an extended escape before the weekend rush. This Thursday, we’re taking that wisdom to heart and heading to Costa Rica, where the country’s beloved “Pura Vida” philosophy meets world-class hospitality at the Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center.

​- Voyage JTravels

Costa Rica in December offers something truly special. As the dry season officially begins, the country transforms into a sun-drenched paradise where temperatures hover between a comfortable 70°F and 85°F. The Pacific coast experiences minimal rainfall, while the Central Valley—home to San Jose—enjoys pleasant highs around 75°F and cooler evenings that dip to 61°F. December also brings what locals call “Los Vientos de Navidad” or Christmas winds, offshore breezes that create ideal conditions for outdoor adventures. While this is high tourist season with corresponding crowds and prices, booking in advance and traveling midweek helps secure better value.globalhighlights+3​

Your Home Base: Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center ✨

Just three miles from Juan Santamaria International Airport and 15 minutes from downtown San Jose, the five-star Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center provides the perfect launching point for your Costa Rican adventure. This isn’t just a place to rest your head—it’s a destination in itself. Recently renovated in 2015, the property spans 229 rooms including 34 suites, offering multiple accommodation options for your group of four adults.factsheet5203.pdf​hotels​

The hotel earned Costa Rica’s prestigious Certification for Sustainable Tourism, demonstrating its commitment to environmental responsibility—a value deeply embedded in Costa Rican culture. With three outdoor swimming pools, five hot tubs, a full-service spa, fitness center, and casino, there’s no shortage of ways to unwind after days of exploration. The property features two restaurants, including Quattro, which serves Latin American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus RUAH Coffee & Bakery for quick bites. Start each morning with the buffet breakfast before heading out to discover everything the Central Valley has to offer.hotels​factsheet5203.pdf​

The location couldn’t be more strategic. The Costa Rica Convention Center sits just one kilometer away, while the Pedregal Events Center is 2.5 kilometers from the property. Plaza Real Cariari shopping center is a mere three-minute walk, and Casino Fiesta Heredia is equally close. Free WiFi throughout the property, 24-hour reception, airport shuttle service, and secure parking ensure your group travels comfortably and conveniently.factsheet5203.pdf​hotels​

Four-Day Itinerary: Costa Rica’s Central Valley Treasures

Day 1: Arrival and San Jose Exploration

Touch down at Juan Santamaria International Airport in the morning, where Costa Rica’s streamlined immigration process welcomes you warmly. Note that as of December 26, 2025, all non-US citizens must undergo biometric data collection (photos and fingerprints) when entering and exiting the United States, so plan extra time for your return journey. US travelers need a valid passport for the duration of their stay, proof of funds ($100 USD minimum per month), and a return ticket.qcostarica+2​

After the complimentary airport shuttle delivers you to the Wyndham San Jose Herradura, take time to check into your rooms and refresh. The afternoon calls for downtown San Jose exploration. Visit the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, where thousands of indigenous artifacts tell Costa Rica’s ancient story. The museum’s crown jewel is the “Salon de Oro” (Gold Room), featuring a stunning 360-degree golden mural depicting scenes from Costa Rica’s past—this room once served as an airport lounge when La Sabana Park housed the nation’s airport.bemytravelmuse​

Next, immerse yourself in local life at Mercado Central, the beating heart of San Jose. This bustling marketplace overflows with tropical fruits—some looking almost otherworldly—alongside souvenirs, coffee vendors, and food stalls where businesspeople grab quick empanadas. The market represents authentic Costa Rican culture, far removed from tourist-focused establishments. For a deeper historical perspective, walk to nearby Mercado Borbón, where vendors tell stories of resistance and resilience, including the banana stand that was among the first to sell autonomously without multinational company control.bemytravelmuse​

As evening approaches, head to Morazán Park in downtown’s heart. During the dry season (December through April), enormous trees bloom with pink, purple, and white flowers, and street festivals often enliven the space. For dinner, choose Restaurante Nuestra Tierra, a trendy Costa Rican restaurant near Plaza de la Democracia. Try the “Parrilladas”—a massive serving of grilled meats accompanied by tortillas, corn, refried beans, and pico de gallo. This authentic introduction to Costa Rican cuisine prepares your palate for the days ahead.costaricatravellife+1​

Day 2: Volcanoes, Waterfalls, and Coffee Culture

This day requires an early start—6:30 AM departure from the hotel. Fuel up with the Wyndham’s buffet breakfast featuring both international options and Costa Rican staples like gallo pinto (rice and beans with onions, cilantro, and bell peppers), traditionally served with eggs, cheese, fried plantains, and sour cream.travelexcellence+2​

Drive north through the scenic Central Valley toward Hacienda Alsacia, Starbucks’ 600-acre coffee plantation in Naranjo. Though you can simply enjoy the coffee and chocolate flight that walks you through roast ranges and flavor notes, the 90-minute guided farm tour offers exceptional value. You’ll walk through coffee fields, learn about cultivation and processing, and sample freshly brewed coffee while overlooking a lush valley with a crashing waterfall filled with butterflies and birds. The combination of traditional Costa Rican breakfast items like gallo pinto alongside American Starbucks standards makes this stop perfect for groups with varying preferences.costaricaexperts+1​

Continue 30 minutes north to Poás Volcano National Park, one of Costa Rica’s most dramatic natural wonders. At 2,708 meters (8,900 feet) above sea level, Poás features the world’s second-widest active crater—an astounding 1.5 kilometers across and 300 meters deep. After presenting your advance-reservation tickets (required), follow the 600-meter paved, wheelchair-accessible path to the observation point. Due to volcanic gases, visitors are limited to 20 minutes at the crater viewpoint, but that’s sufficient time to witness the sulfuric, bubbling green lake surrounded by steam rising from fumaroles. When pressure pockets exceed the water’s weight, geysers rocket up to 820 feet high. The park reopened in July 2025 after temporary closures due to increased activity, with enhanced safety measures now in place.wikipedia+3​

Allocate two hours total at Poás if you wish to explore both the main crater trail and the trail to Botos Lagoon, a cold-water crater lake 370 meters in diameter that hasn’t erupted for 7,500 years. The high elevation brings cooler temperatures—typically 55-60°F—so bring layers.roughguides+1​

For lunch, return to the lower elevations and stop at a traditional “soda” (small family-run restaurant) for casado, Costa Rica’s quintessential meal. This complete plate features rice, beans, your choice of meat (fish, chicken, or beef), vegetables or salad, and fried plantains. Don’t forget to ask for Salsa Lizano, the beloved Costa Rican sauce that locals add to nearly everything.costarica+3​

The afternoon’s highlight awaits at La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park, Costa Rica’s most-visited privately-owned ecological attraction. Spanning 70 acres with 3.5 kilometers of trails, this sanctuary combines five spectacular waterfalls with the country’s largest animal sanctuary housing over 100 species. The paved trails descend through cloud and rainforest, passing exhibits featuring toucans, scarlet macaws, sloths, capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, hummingbirds (26 documented species), jaguars, pumas, ocelots, butterflies, and frogs.waterfallgardens+2​

The five waterfalls—Magia Blanca, Templo, Encantada, Escondida, and La Paz—reveal themselves progressively along the trail. You’ll descend via sometimes-steep stairs, so wear comfortable, grippy shoes. Budget a minimum of two hours, though three to four hours allows for a more leisurely experience including time at the cultural area with its replica traditional Costa Rican home, petting zoo, and beautifully painted traditional oxcart. The trout lake offers fishing for those interested. A shuttle bus returns you from the trail’s end to the main entrance—a welcome convenience after several miles of walking.jetsetjansen+2​

Return to the Wyndham by early evening, giving you time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities. Take a dip in one of the three outdoor pools or soak in a hot tub while recounting the day’s adventures. The hotel’s spa offers massage services if your muscles need attention after all that walking. Dinner can be casual at the hotel’s Quattro restaurant, or venture to nearby Piratas, specializing in American cuisine with a children’s menu.hotels​factsheet5203.pdf​

Day 3: Artisan Villages and Manuel Antonio Paradise

This day balances cultural immersion with beach relaxation, though it requires the longest drive of your itinerary. Depart by 7:00 AM after breakfast.

First, detour west to Sarchí, Costa Rica’s most celebrated crafts center, located about 45 minutes from San Jose. This artisan village achieved fame for its brilliantly painted oxcarts and oxen yokes—national symbols of Costa Rican folklore. Wooden oxcarts pulled by oxen were Costa Rica’s primary transportation from the early 1800s through the 1950s, especially for transporting coffee beans from mountain farms to coastal ports. As artisan competition intensified in the early 20th century, cart makers began decorating their products with elaborate geometric patterns to distinguish their work.enchanting-costarica+2​

Visit Fábrica de Carretas Eloy Alfaro, a historic oxcart factory where artists still paint and craft using traditional methods. The small outdoor facility is positioned on a stream and uses a waterwheel to power much of the original equipment, though key components were upgraded from wood to metal in 1934 and strengthened to iron in 1965. Watch artists hand-paint intricate designs on oxcarts of all sizes, from miniatures perfect for souvenirs to full-scale replicas. The adjoining shop sells handcrafted wood furniture, leather rocking chairs (which fold into boxes for air travel or ship via FedEx), tropical hardwood items, ceramics, and textiles.creescapes+3​

Don’t miss the “World’s Largest Oxcart” in Central Park—built in 2006 specifically to enter the Guinness Book of World Records, this massive painted cart sits on a platform in front of the main church. If time permits, explore the Artisan Plaza (“Plaza de la Artesanía”), a large outdoor mall of souvenir shops.enchanting-costarica+1​

From Sarchí, continue southwest toward the Pacific coast—approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to Manuel Antonio National Park. This scenic drive descends from the Central Valley’s mountains through changing landscapes. Plan to arrive by early afternoon.wikipedia​

Manuel Antonio National Park, established in 1972, protects 1,983 hectares of land and 25,634 hectares of marine territory. Despite being one of Costa Rica’s smallest national parks, it ranks as the most popular, attracting over 4 million visitors between 2012 and 2022. Forbes listed it among the world’s 12 most beautiful national parks in 2011.wikipedia​

The park showcases Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity—you can spot all four species of Costa Rican monkeys (white-faced capuchin, howler, spider, and squirrel) plus both two-toed and three-toed sloths. The 1.3-mile flat, sandy main trail connects the park’s stunning beaches, making it accessible for all fitness levels. For a more challenging option, the Punta Catedral loop (0.9 miles) offers moderate difficulty with steep inclines and spectacular viewpoints.costa-rica-guide+1​

Four beaches lie within park boundaries: Manuel Antonio, Espadilla Sur, Tesoro, and Playita. Manuel Antonio Beach, separated from Espadilla Sur by a natural tombolo (sand bridge), offers the best swimming and snorkeling with tidal pools perfect for exploration. The park’s combination of pristine white sand beaches, rocky islands, tropical rainforest, and abundant wildlife creates an unmatched experience.costaricaexperts+1​

Entrance requires advance ticket purchase online. While you can explore independently, hiring a naturalist guide significantly enhances the experience—their trained eyes spot camouflaged sloths, tree frogs, and birds that untrained visitors would certainly miss. A guided hike typically lasts three hours, leaving time to swim and relax on the beaches afterward.manuelantoniopark+2​

For dinner, explore Quepos town (just north of the park) where numerous restaurants serve fresh seafood. Try ceviche, the beloved dish of raw fish “cooked” in lemon juice with ginger, onion, cilantro, and hot chili sauce—though originally Peruvian, it’s thoroughly embraced throughout Costa Rica.costarica​

This day involves significant driving (approximately 6 hours total in the vehicle), so the group should discuss whether everyone wants to make this journey. An alternative “Day 3” could substitute Irazú Volcano for Manuel Antonio—a much shorter drive that still delivers spectacular volcanic landscapes.

Day 3 Alternative: Irazú Volcano and Cartago

For groups preferring less driving, substitute Irazú Volcano National Park for Manuel Antonio. At 3,432 meters (11,260 feet), Irazú stands as Costa Rica’s tallest volcano. The drive from San Jose takes approximately 1.5 hours, making it perfect for a half-day excursion.wikipedia+1​

Irazú last erupted significantly in 1963-1965, with one particularly memorable eruption occurring the exact day US President John F. Kennedy arrived in Costa Rica—greeting him with a huge ash plume that covered San Jose. Today, the volcano maintains only minor fumarolic activity and is completely safe to visit.twoweeksincostarica+1​

Unlike many volcanoes requiring strenuous hikes, you can drive directly to Irazú’s summit and park area. A paved walkway leads to the main crater—a sprawling 1,050-meter (3,444-foot) diameter, 300-meter (984-foot) deep depression. The Crater Principal contains an unusual greenish-yellow lake formed by rainfall dissolving minerals along the crater walls; the color occasionally shifts to rust-red depending on mineral content. On exceptionally clear days (admittedly rare), you can see both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from the summit.wikipedia+3​

Budget about two hours for the full experience including the walk to the crater viewpoint. The extreme elevation means temperatures ranging from 37°F to 73°F, so bring warm layers, sunscreen, and rain gear. The alien moonscape of scorched vegetation and mineral-rich pools creates dramatic photo opportunities.mytanfeet+2​

After Irazú, visit nearby Cartago, Costa Rica’s former capital. Explore the Cartago Municipal Museum to see the massive mural depicting Costa Rican history. Browse the Municipal Market for local lunch—another opportunity to try casado or perhaps olla de carne, a hearty beef and vegetable soup perfect for cooler days. The Lankester Botanical Garden, easily accessible via rideshare, makes an excellent afternoon stop.youtube​travelexcellence+1​

Day 4: Leisure and Departure

Your final morning allows for flexibility based on your flight schedule and group preferences. If departing in the afternoon or evening, consider one last Central Valley experience.

For coffee enthusiasts, Finca Rosa Blanca offers intimate two-hour coffee tours just 15 minutes from the airport. This boutique property’s 30-acre plantation grows high-quality Arabica beans, and the nature walk covers the complete cycle from growing coffee cherries to roasting beans, culminating in a tasting session where you learn to detect different aromas and flavors. The volcanic views across the Central Valley are spectacular.jaredsdetours+2​

Alternatively, sleep late and indulge in the Wyndham’s full breakfast buffet one more time. Spend the morning enjoying the pools, spa services, or fitness center. The hotel’s convenient location just three miles from the airport means you can relax until mid-afternoon before heading to your flight.factsheet5203.pdf​

Before departing, shop for last-minute souvenirs at Plaza Real Cariari, three minutes’ walk from the hotel. Essential Costa Rican souvenirs include locally-grown coffee (look for brands like Café Britt, Doka Estate, or 1820), the traditional chorreador de café wooden coffee maker with cloth filter (about $20), Salsa Lizano sauce, organic chocolate, hand-carved wooden items including miniature painted oxcarts, Boruca masks, handmade jewelry, hammocks, bamboo clothing, and cajetas de leche (sugar cane candies). These items support local artisans and carry authentic Costa Rican craftsmanship back home.mytanfeet+4​

Practical Planning Tips for Your Group

Transportation: Renting a vehicle provides maximum flexibility for this itinerary, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Costa Rica’s roads are generally well-maintained, though mountain routes can be winding. Alternatively, many hotels and tour operators arrange private transportation—particularly valuable for the Manuel Antonio day trip.bookmundi+1​

Packing Essentials: December’s dry season means mostly sunny weather, but pack quick-drying shirts and shorts, lightweight pants, a light jacket for cool evenings and high elevations, rain poncho (occasional showers occur), comfortable hiking shoes with good traction, sandals, swimwear, sunglasses, broad-spectrum sunscreen, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for certain activities like zip-lining.creescapes+2​

Dining Recommendations: Beyond the spots mentioned in the itinerary, San Jose offers exceptional restaurants. For upscale dining, try Silvestre (modern Costa Rican cuisine), Grano de Oro (French-Latin fusion in a historic hotel), or Sikwa (creative indigenous-inspired dishes). Mid-range favorites include Tin Jo Asian Restaurant for pan-Asian cuisine, Café Rojo for Vietnamese-inspired dishes in a converted mansion, and La Divina Comida for Peruvian fusion. For vegetarians, Arbol de Seda specializes in plant-based options.reddit+2​

Costa Rica’s Sustainability Commitment: Your visit contributes to one of the world’s most successful conservation stories. Costa Rica reversed deforestation trends through strong legislation and innovative initiatives, increasing forest cover from 25% to 56%. The country generates nearly 98% of electricity from renewable sources including hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, and solar. Protected areas cover 26% of national territory, with parks maintaining only 4-7% open to visitors while conserving the remaining 93-96% in pristine condition. The Certificate of Sustainable Tourism (CST) program helps travelers identify eco-conscious accommodations and tour operators. By 2050, Costa Rica aims to achieve complete carbon neutrality.notintheguidebooks+3​

Budget Expectations: December falls in high season, meaning premium pricing for accommodation, tours, and transportation. Booking well in advance secures better rates. A four-day trip for four adults staying at the Wyndham typically ranges $2,500-$4,000 total, including accommodation, rental vehicle, park entrance fees, tours, and meals, though luxury dining and shopping can increase costs significantly.vacationscostarica+1​

Health and Safety: Costa Rica maintains excellent safety standards for tourists. Tap water is potable in San Jose and most urban areas. The country requires no specific vaccinations for US travelers, though routine immunizations should be current. Travel insurance covering medical emergencies and trip interruption provides peace of mind.travel.state​

Wander and Escape Down Memory Lane with Voyage JTravels 🌴

Picture this: It’s Thursday morning, and you’re sipping freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee on the Wyndham’s terrace, watching the sun illuminate the Central Valley’s verdant mountains. Your group—maybe college friends reconnecting, siblings celebrating a milestone, or couples seeking adventure—has spent three days discovering Costa Rica’s treasures. The volcanic crater viewpoint at Poás took your breath away. La Paz Waterfall Gardens’ resplendent quetzals and playful monkeys created memories you’ll treasure forever. The painted oxcarts in Sarchí reminded you that beauty lies in tradition and craftsmanship passed through generations.

But here’s what you’re really thinking about: how effortlessly everything flowed. No stress about which attractions warranted the drive time. No uncertainty about restaurant choices or whether advance reservations were necessary. No wondering if you were missing hidden gems that only locals know.

That’s the Voyage JTravels difference. While DIY travel means hours scrolling through conflicting reviews and blog posts, second-guessing every booking, and hoping you haven’t overlooked something essential, curated travel planning removes that cognitive overload. Voyage JTravels serves busy US-based travelers like you—people who value authentic experiences but lack time to research extensively or risk making costly mistakes.

Imagine having someone who specializes in Costa Rica create a personalized itinerary balancing your group’s interests, physical abilities, and budget. Someone who knows that Thursday flights often cost less and that the Wyndham’s location makes it ideal for Central Valley exploration. Someone who can arrange naturalist guides, secure hard-to-get restaurant reservations, and suggest that perfect artisan village your group wouldn’t find independently.

This is your life. Four adults with careers, responsibilities, maybe families. You deserve vacations that deliver maximum experience with minimum stress. Let Voyage JTravels handle the logistics while you handle the memories.

The Costa Rican Spirit Lives in Thursday’s Promise

There’s ancient wisdom in beginning journeys on Thursday, and there’s modern magic in Costa Rica’s approach to life. “Pura Vida”—pure life—isn’t just a saying; it’s a philosophy embracing simplicity, gratitude, and living fully in each moment. When you combine Thursday’s auspicious energy with Costa Rica’s commitment to conservation, adventure, and genuine hospitality, something remarkable happens.costarica​

The volcanic landscapes remind us that the earth constantly reinvents itself. The cloud forests teach that biodiversity thrives when ecosystems are protected. The artisans of Sarchí demonstrate that tradition and innovation can coexist beautifully. And the warm smiles of Ticos (Costa Ricans) sharing their gallo pinto, their coffee farms, and their spectacular national parks prove that sustainable tourism benefits everyone when done thoughtfully.

Your Thursday departure is more than convenient timing—it’s an invitation to embrace transformation. Costa Rica changes people. You’ll return home noticing the birds more keenly. You’ll crave that morning cup of coffee with fresh awareness of the labor and love required to produce it. You’ll find yourself slowing down, even slightly, remembering that some cultures prioritize “being” over “doing.”

The Wyndham San Jose Herradura provides the comfortable foundation for these revelations. After days exploring volcanoes, waterfalls, rainforests, and artisan villages, you’ll appreciate returning to those three pools, those hot tubs, that spa. You’ll savor one more buffet breakfast, recognizing now what goes into each component—the coffee harvested from volcanic slopes, the plantains from family farms, the rice and beans that form Costa Rica’s culinary soul.

Four days barely scratches Costa Rica’s surface. You haven’t zip-lined through Monteverde’s cloud forests or watched turtles nest in Tortuguero. You haven’t soaked in Arenal’s volcanic hot springs or surfed Tamarindo’s perfect breaks. But this Thursday journey plants seeds. Seeds of curiosity, of connection, of commitment to traveling more consciously. Seeds that grow into return trips, deeper explorations, richer understanding.

Your Thursday Starts Now

The calendar shows this Thursday approaching. Your group text is already buzzing with excitement. Someone’s researching flights while another’s checking passport expiration dates. One of you is already dreaming about that first morning, standing at Poás Volcano’s crater rim, witnessing the earth’s raw power. Another can’t wait for La Paz’s waterfalls and the butterflies dancing through mist-filled air.

Costa Rica waits—with its howler monkeys calling at dawn, its orchids blooming in impossible profusion, its coffee farmers sharing generations of knowledge, its conservation success proving that economic development and environmental protection need not conflict. The Wyndham San Jose Herradura waits with its welcoming staff, comfortable rooms, and strategic location perfectly positioned for Central Valley adventures.

Thursday was made for journeys like this. For stepping outside the ordinary. For embracing the Pura Vida spirit that transforms tourists into travelers and travelers into ambassadors for a better, more sustainable way of exploring our extraordinary planet.

Your Costa Rican Thursday awaits. The volcanoes won’t photograph themselves. The waterfalls won’t hike to you. The gallo pinto won’t appear magically on your breakfast table at home. But all of it—every experience, every flavor, every moment—waits in Costa Rica with open arms and that irresistible phrase that becomes your mantra: Pura Vida. ☀️🌿

Ready to connect with Voyage JTravels and transform this vision into your reality? We’ll handle the details while you handle the excitement. Because life’s too short for stressful vacation planning, and Thursdays are too perfect to waste.
