Located in the Central Valley’s rolling hills and surrounded sugar cane plantations, around 27 miles from San Jose. Grecia is a small town with a mild climate (67 to 82°F), a reputation of the cleanest town in Latinoamerica and home of several beautiful attractions.
One of best touristic attractions of Grecia is the vibrant Cathedral de la Mercedes. The gothic-style church is constructed of brick-red metal panes, built in Belgium and shipped to Costa Rica in 1987. The panes were shipped as individual slabs to the port city of Limon where they were carried by oxcart, piece by piece, to Grecia. The iconic church is an unusual deep red hue and is adorned with gingerbread trim.
You can also find the World of Snakes reptile museum and Los Chorros Park, a pair of pristine waterfalls set in a private reserve just minutes from town. There is also a family-run butterfly garden and, for the history buff, the Casa de Cultura museum has plenty of local folklore and colonial artifacts.
