Send Flowers to Desamparados, Costa Rica

Desamparados, directly south of San José, is one of the most populated cantons in Costa Rica. It is a place of working families, neighbourhood shops and busy bus routes, where several generations often live close together and a birthday or Mother's Day is celebrated by the whole street.

The central district gathers around a large church and park, and from there the canton spreads through San Rafael Arriba and Abajo, San Miguel, San Antonio, Gravilias and up into the green hills towards Aserrí. Many Costa Ricans living in the United States have parents and grandparents here, and they are the ones who most often send flowers to Desamparados. Houses are close together and street signs are few, so the recipient's own directions, with landmarks and metres, are essential, together with a phone number. Order before 11:00 am local time for same-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. Later orders arrive the next day; Sundays and main public holidays have no deliveries.
