Send Flowers to Heredia, Costa Rica

Heredia is called the City of Flowers, and it wears the name with pride. Just north of San José, on the lower slopes of Barva volcano, the provincial capital keeps a small-town centre with an old stone church, a shady park and El Fortín, the round brick tower that is its emblem.

Around that quiet core, Heredia has changed quickly. The Universidad Nacional brings thousands of students to the centre, and free-trade zones and business parks along the highway employ a young, bilingual workforce in technology, services and medical devices. Up the hill, San Rafael, Barva, Santa Bárbara and San Isidro offer cooler air, coffee farms and country homes, while San Pablo, Santo Domingo and San Joaquín de Flores are popular residential towns with many condominiums. Flower delivery in Heredia therefore ranges from student apartments and office receptions to gated communities, where the guard will ask for the resident's name and house number.

Order before 11:00 am local time and a local florist will deliver the same day, Monday to Saturday; after that, delivery is the next day, and never on a Sunday. Write the address the Costa Rican way, with landmarks and metres, and include the district and a mobile number.
