Send Flowers to Curridabat, Costa Rica

Curridabat, on the eastern side of San José, became known well beyond Costa Rica for an unusual idea: under its Ciudad Dulce, or Sweet City, programme, the municipality treats bees, butterflies and hummingbirds as residents and plants its parks and streets with native flowers to feed them. It is a fitting place to receive a bouquet.

The canton is mainly residential and comfortable, with neighbourhoods such as Pinares, Lomas de Ayarco, Freses, Guayabos and José María Zeledón, plus shopping centres and offices along the road to Cartago. Families, professionals and diplomats live here, many in condominiums with a guard at the entrance. To send flowers to Curridabat, include the neighbourhood, the landmark-style directions, the house or unit number and a phone number. A local florist delivers the same day from Monday to Saturday for orders placed before 11:00 am local time. Orders after the cut-off are delivered the next day, and there is no delivery on Sundays. Afternoon rain is common from May to November.
