romeria cartago

Cartago takes you to the heart of what Costa Rica once was, a place of the day’s past. It is a city of history...

The traditional romería, an annual pilgrimage of Catholics to the Costa Rican city of Cartago, has been canceled for the second straight year due to the pandemic.

The Catholic Church of Costa Rica has asked faithful to join an online celebration rather than making the pilgrimage to Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles in Cartago. 

An estimated 2 million people make the pilgrimage to Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles in Cartago. 

An estimated 2 million people made the pilgrimage to Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles in Cartago on Friday. 

Happy Virgen de los Ángeles Day from all of us at The Tico Times.
