Coronado Attractions
The Coronado area encompasses the villages of San Isidro de Coronado, San Antonio de Coronado and Dulce Nombre de Coronado. San Isidro lies at 1,383m/4,536ft and is a popular destination for San José residents looking to escape the city. There are few attractions, and no accommodations in the area. Most travellers pass through for an afternoon en route to other destinations.
Clodomiro Picado Institute
Run by the University of Costa Rica, this institute offers a display of local poisonous snakes, and offers education about the antivenin serum-making process. Each week on Friday, snakes are "milked" for their poison that is then converted to antivenin. The serum is for sale.
