The jolly gift-giver ziplined over the street on a cable suspended between two buildings, then repelled down onto the street in a sea of applause. Santa and Mrs.
Claus then took the stage for the lighting of the shopping center’s Christmas tree, which was followed by a fireworks show.
Six different groups from around the Escazú and San José area participated in the parade, including the Special Olympics of Costa Rica and Danceworks, a local dance studio.
