Escazu Vacations, Escazu Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Escazu, a small suburb of San Jose has become a favorite spot for expatriates who move to Costa Rica but want to avoid the constant heat of the beaches and the crime and poverty that is more common in San Jose.

A home away from home for many North Americans, Escazu has a broad selection of restaurants found in the United States including Taco Bell, Dennys, Capital Grill, and Tony Romas. There is also, essentially, (it's not called Walmart, but is owned by it and looks the same) a Walmart located there with most items you'd find at a Walmart in the U.S.

The U.S. Ambassador lives in Escazu, along with a growing number of wealthy individuals. Escazu is not in the mountains surrounding San Jose, but lies at the foothills of those mountains (kind of small mountains - not like the mountains of Colorado or the Alps. These mountains were formed by volcanic activity)
