San Jose, Costa Rica in JP movie

Dodgson exits the taxi.

San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica. In Jurassic Park, Dennis Nedry met with Lewis Dodgson in a cafe here to get his payment for stealing the dinosaur embryos for Dodgson's company Biosyn. A helicopter also made a brief stop here to pick up Nedry.

Trivia[]

  • San Jose is inaccurately portrayed in the movies by being an oceanside city, due to filming in Hawaii. In real life, San Jose is in the middle of Costa Rica, far from the oceans.
  • San Jose can easily be identified as it is the only major land-locked city in Costa Rica, and is completely surrounded by mountains from all angles.
