About random cities in Costa Rica
This picker maps Costa Rica's 12 biggest cities onto an interactive 3D globe and chooses one at random with a cryptographically fair spin. The globe rotates to the winner and drops a pin on its exact location — anywhere from San José to Liberia. Use it for travel brainstorming, geography practice, writing prompts, or settling a friendly "which city?" debate.
It works like a spin the wheel for cities to visit in Costa Rica, drawn on a real map instead of a dial. Planning a trip and stuck choosing between San José and Limón? Let the spin decide where to go, then build the itinerary around whichever city comes up.
Costa Rica shelters around five percent of the world's biodiversity and lives by its cheerful pura vida philosophy. The capital is San José.
