San Rafael de Heredia
San Rafael de Heredia Review
This quiet, tidy, coffee town 2 km (1 mi) northeast of Heredia has a large church notable for its stained-glass windows and bright interior. The road north from the church winds its way up Barva Volcano, ending atop the Monte de la Cruz lookout point.
