Zarcero is the capital city of the canton of Alfaro Ruiz in the province of Alajuela in Costa Rica. It is also the name of the district that includes the city.
Parque Francisco Alvarado: The park sits in front of the church at the town center. It is known for its topiary garden produced and maintained by Evangelisto Blanco since the 1960s. Shrubs in the park have been trimmed into the shapes of various animals, including some that are quite abstract and bizarre.
