Send Flowers to Alajuela, Costa Rica

Alajuela is the second city of Costa Rica and the first one most visitors see, since Juan Santamaría International Airport is on its southern edge. The airport takes its name from the drummer boy from Alajuela who became the national hero in the campaign of 1856, and the city honours him every 11 April, a main public holiday and therefore not a delivery day.

A little lower and warmer than San José, Alajuela is known as the city of mangoes for the old trees that shade its central park. The surrounding canton is a patchwork of coffee farms, residential neighbourhoods and free-trade zones such as El Coyol, where medical device companies are major employers. To the west, La Garita is lined with plant nurseries, and to the north the road climbs towards Poás volcano through strawberry and dairy country. Flower delivery in Alajuela covers the centre, outlying districts such as San Rafael and La Guácima, hotels near the airport, and workplaces.

Addresses are given by landmark and distance, so include every reference the recipient uses, the district and a phone number. Orders placed before 11:00 am local time are delivered the same day, Monday to Saturday; later orders go out the next day, never on a Sunday.
