Like any country, if there is going to be a gay scene it is going to be the biggest in the capital city. If you are flying to Costa Rica, you are likely to be flying in to San Jose.
San Jose Gay Bars
Most people move straight on, but we think it is worth spending the weekend here first, there are a lot of gay bars in the capital city to check out first. It’s relatively modern by Latin America standards and is said to be one of the safest and least violent cities in the region. We felt perfectly safe while we were here and at night, used Uber to be extra safe.
We had one of the craziest nights out yet in San Jose. A lot of bars have the concept that you pay your entry fee and then its an open bar (which can be somewhat dangerous if like us your are a lightweight!).
Here is our list of San Jose gay bars and clubs.
