After being out of service for many years, suburban commuter trains made a return to Costa Rica in 2011, with routes to Heredia, Pavas, and Cartago back in operation. Our students have loved the train rides to Heredia or Cartago, where they can explore the city centers, visit key landmarks, and then head back to San José.
This service has been a great success, with many Costa Ricans using it daily. It’s also worth noting that the old train stations have been beautifully renovated, adding charm to the experiences.
