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.

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.

Useful to know
Visit the market as a focused stop before heading to an outlying hot spring.
