Christmas Horse Parade in Costa Rica

Looking for something fun to do in Costa Rica over Christmas? Don't miss the Gran Tope Nacional 2009 or San Jose horse parade held on Dec 26 in central San Jose. It's an all day long party full of food, dancing and music as more than 5000 horses dance and show off their talents as they march down the street.

Bull fights are also popular this time of year and near New Years are some of the best bull fights in all of Costa Rica in Zapote (just outside of San Jose city).

Oh, and don't forget to try some tamales (corn flour mixed with meat and veggies cooked by boiling this mixture wrapped up in banana leaves) 

When: December 26 noon-ish until 5-ish.

Where: Central Avenue, downtown San Jose
