Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica is actually a section of the city San Isidro de General. However, locals adoringly call the entire city Perez Zeledon. This is a safe and clean city. It is also an important trade zone where people meet from Northern and Southern Costa Rica. Travelers must pass through the Cerro de la Muerte (Mountain of Death) to reach San Isidro. This is part of the Pan-American highway which goes over mountains and into clouds well over 3,000 meters in elevation. The winding roads and thick fog makes this a cool and dangerous trip at times.
