National Theater of Costa Rica

       
           Construction for The National Theater of Costa Rica started in 1891 and was completed by 1897. The theater was designed by Ruy Cristoforo Molinari. The purpose for building the theater was to show the culture and success of Costa Rica. The first day it was open they had a performance of Faust by Johann Wolfgang. The theater is known as the finest building in San Jose. After an earthquake devastated the country in 1991, Nicolás Chavarría re-designed it and it was completely renovated in 1993.

Rio Celeste

The Celeste River is a naturally formed landmark, located in Northern Costa Rica. The river has such popularity because of its striking color, a light blue that easily resembles the sky. As much as one would like to make up stories behind the color of the river, it has been deduced that the color comes from the sulfur and calcium carbonate mixing together.

     The river also runs through the rain forest and is lined with hot springs. It even has a waterfall, where many tourists take dips in the pool at the bottom.
