Alajuela, the second-largest province in Costa Rica, stands as a significant contributor to the nation’s economy and culture. Known as the “City of Mangoes,” Alajuela is not just an agricultural powerhouse but also a rapidly growing urban center.
The province is home to the Juan Santamaría International Airport, making it a critical gateway for international visitors and trade. The bustling city of Alajuela is surrounded by fertile lands where coffee, sugarcane, and, of course, mangoes are cultivated, supporting both local economies and export markets.
In recent years, Alajuela has seen substantial investment in infrastructure, with new roads, commercial centers, and residential areas emerging across the province. This growth is attracting businesses and investors, further boosting the local economy. Additionally, Alajuela’s strategic location near the capital, San José, and its proximity to key tourist destinations such as Arenal Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens, makes it a vital hub for both business and tourism.
Culturally, Alajuela holds a special place in Costa Rican history. It is the birthplace of national hero Juan Santamaría, celebrated every year with a grand parade and events.
The province’s vibrant cultural scene is evident in its festivals, museums, and art galleries, making it a lively place to live and visit.
