What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into San Jose for April 9 to 12, 2027, round trips of 3 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- April is the end of dry season and the hottest month in the Central Valley.
- The Juan Santamaría museum by the park gives the backstory in an hour.
- The international airport is actually in Alajuela, ten minutes from the parade route.
