This pleasant working-class neighborhood puts on the capital’s favorite urban fiestas, most famous for their endlesstopes (horse parades), which bring out the finest steeds in the Central Valley. Las Fiestas are also known for Costa Rican-style “bull fights,” where bulls aren’t killed, but rather allowed to run with locals brave enough to try to touch the beast – sometimes getting hurt in the process. Zapote also brings in top international performers, many from Mexico.
