A good route to practice, it doesn't have much elevation change, and if you'd like to enter the Leaf Forest, the entrance fee is quite affordable.

The San Bartolomé Apóstol Parish,[1] is a Catholic church in the district of Barva in the canton of Barva, Heredia, Costa Rica. The first church was established between 1568 and 1575, an adobe construction with a thatched roof, and was dedicated to San Bartolomé Apóstol; It is rumored to have been built over an Indian burial ground, as numerous Native American-made objects have been removed.

Tribute to Chief Barvac. Chief Barvac, also known as Barvak, was an important indigenous leader in the region we now know as Costa Rica. His name is believed to mean "People of the Anteater" in the ancient Huetar language. Chief Barvac's name has transcended time and generations, and is currently used to name important places in Costa Rica, including a volcano and a canton.
