Hello! The San Carlos Waterfront Promenade is a public space and is therefore open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can enjoy its views at any time. There are no gates or opening or closing hours.

Great news! Access to the San Carlos Waterfront Promenade is completely free. It is a public space designed for the enjoyment of all visitors and the local community, so you can walk through it without worrying about entrance fees.

To fully enjoy the promenade, I suggest setting aside between 1 and 2 hours. This will allow you to stroll at a relaxed pace, take photographs, admire the scenery of the San Juan River, and perhaps enjoy a snack at one of the nearby spots.

Beyond being a beautiful walkway, the San Carlos Waterfront Promenade holds great importance for the city. It is a central gathering place where local life and the natural beauty of the San Juan River come together, serving as a cultural and social stronghold. It represents San Carlos’s vital connection with its river environment.

For an unforgettable experience, I recommend visiting the promenade at sunset, when the colors of the sky over the river are spectacular. As for the time of year, the dry season (from December to May) offers more pleasant weather and less rain, ideal for walking.
