Valle de Coris, Cartago Costa Rica January 2, 2025

I like Cartago, when I was in my 20's I used to study there, in college. In fact, sometimes I go to Cartago just to take a walk around Tejar, Guadalupe and The Industrial Park seeing in the video.

I like Cartago because it's usually fresher in weather! I am planning on going back to Cartago several times in the coming weeks.

@@glowingfish Just in case, never go beyond the point you got in the video, cause its really lonely route, the paved street leads you to Linda Vista in Desamparados of San José, but it is not safe to go walking alone. Around 10 years ago a guy doing cycling was killed, maybe robbery attemp. In fact, I walked with a friend that route (Parque Industrial - Coris - Linda Vista Desamparados) just for fun in 2010, everything was fine, but nowadays Linda Vista is kind of unsafe, gangs, drugs. Best!

@@77jcarva I was more afraid of trucks (and motorcycles), or getting lost and hurting myself far from help---like on that trail! That is the most scared I have been in Costa Rica, probably, because if I slipped and fell, who knows how long it would take to find me! I try to stay safe, but I also know I have to take some risks in life.
