Historical re-enactments, in the form of parades through the streets of the main cities, punctuate the days of this Semana Santa (Holy Week). The sounds of the drums and trumpets of the Roman legions echo through the streets.<\/p>\n<p>Easter is also the time when the majority of Costa Ricans go on vacation, especially on the Pacific coast. It's a time for families to get together and celebrate this special week. Processions and parades flood the streets of the country's towns and villages.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous processions include Tres Rios in Cartago, Santo Domingo in Heredia and San Joaquin De Flores in Heredia.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight is the processions on Thursday and Friday... they bring together masses of faithful and see extras recreate scenes from the Passion in period costume. An authentic and enriching vacation experience!<\/p>\n<p>A special feature of this period is that from Wednesday to Friday, the sale of alcohol is prohibited throughout the country, whether in supermarkets, small grocery stores (pulperias) or bars.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to go for Easter in Costa Rica?<\/h2>\n<p>Costa Ricans take advantage of their vacations to visit Pacific beaches such as Tamarindo, <a href=\"https:\/\/morphocostarica.com\/en\/destinations-costa-rica\/santa-teresa\/\">Santa Teresa<\/a> or even <a href=\"https:\/\/morphocostarica.com\/en\/destinations-costa-rica\/manuel-antonio\/\">Manuel Antonio<\/a>. Caribbean beaches are also very popular, with the beaches of <a href=\"https:\/\/morphocostarica.com\/en\/destinations-costa-rica\/cahuita\/\">Cahuita<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/morphocostarica.com\/en\/destinations-costa-rica\/puerto-viejo\/\">Puerto Viejo de Limon<\/a> who have their own preferences. You can still try to find available hotels, but it's going to be an uphill battle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2474\" src=\"https:\/\/morphocostarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_20180727_180509-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"holy week in costa rica\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Author: Vincent Le Vigouroux<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>C&rsquo;est les vacances P\u00e2ques arrive \u00e0 petits pas et tout le pays d\u2019appr\u00eate \u00e0 rentrer en \u00e9bullition\u00a0!
