If you're spending some time in La Sabana, Sabana Park and National Stadium of Costa Rica are top sights worth seeing.

I've been told that Costa Rica has 15% of the biodiversity of the world. While the trip from the airport was mainly developed I started to take pictures of the plant life on the bus ride to our hotel.

Hatillo

While Hatillo might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Sabana Park and Museum of Costa Rican Art.
