Barrios Amón and Otoya
Central Valley, Costa Rica
Barrios Amón and Otoya, San José, Costa Rica, the twin historic districts in the northern hills above the capital's center, are San José's best-kept architectural secret — a walkable, café-lined maze of neo-Victorian tropical mansions, Mudéjar castles, art deco concrete manses, and century-old cafetalero estates that were built by Costa Rica's 19th-century coffee aristocracy and are now experiencing one of the city's most interesting second acts.
