From the Costa Rica World / Places

Ciudad Quesada

Ciudad Quesada is the working center of San Carlos, with a municipal market and a view toward Platanar Volcano that reward a stop in northern Costa Rica.

Why go

The municipal market gives the clearest introduction to everyday food and commerce here. Look beyond the center toward Platanar Volcano to place the city at the edge of the San Carlos plain. Nearby hot springs are a separate outing, not a feature of the streets themselves.

What to look for

  • Local food and stalls at the Municipal Market
  • A view toward Platanar Volcano
  • The city’s role as San Carlos’s commercial center

Useful to know

  • Visit the market as a focused stop before heading to an outlying hot spring.
  • Check individual hot spring access and hours; they are separate venues around the city.
