San José Warnings and Dangers: 22 reviews and 3 photos
San Jose has many different bus stations, depending on where you are planning to travel to next. Exercise extreme caution when hanging out near the following bus stations:
Coca Cola
Alfaro
San Carlos (books will call it Atlantico Norte but no one knows it as this)
Caribe
These are not good places to hang about and when arriving and leaving, take a cab straight there and flag one down immediately. Particularly after dark, thieves (many armed) will not hesitate to take advantage of a backpacker. Caribe has a safe feeling since there is a big gate that goes around the terminal. Once you leave however, get a cab ASAP and don't hang out on the street, mind try to walk to your hostel/destination.
