About me:
PURA VIDA 24 / 7 !!!!!!!
Alajuela Campground started 1998 in Mexico as Alamo Hostel,in 2007 we moved the business to Costa Rica.
Our hostel is located in the mountains, at about 1000 m above the sea.Perfect climate year around ! We dont have too many rules,its more like a bunch of people sharing a big nice house together.Some of us work,some are taking off some time,some are here to learn Spanish, a lot of people use us as a base to explore Costa Rica.
We are very close to San Jose airport, so if you come in late or fly out early in the morning,let us know and we arrange a shuttle. Maybe we are not the most organized hostel and some times we have loud parties,but this is the place where people connect and travel together!
MYSPACE: Some myspace members made their way to Alajuela campground like.Stefan ( the owner ) ,Rachel ,Alana,El Gringasmo, E-Marj-N-C,Blake,Breck ( plays the guitar and gives joga lessons in the hostel )

Alajuela City Info
This inland region is marked by natural beauty and a series of spectacular volcanoes that make up the Cordillera Central mountain range. Volcan Arenal, Alajuela’s main attraction, is the most spectacular volcano in Costa Rica and possibly the world.
The provincial capital of Alajuela is about 11 miles (18km) northwest of San Jose and a short drive from Juan Santamaria International Airport. Alajuela sits on a gentle slope and is slightly warmer than neighboring San Jose, and thus attracts city dwellers in the summer months. Alajuela’s town center is much like the hectic street markets in San Jose, if a bit smaller and laid back; several nearby villages are even more slower-paced, and are popular among tourists.
Alajuela Nightlife:
We have bar hopping tours in downtown Alajuela!
