The city's elevation (just above 500 meters above sea level), and the geography of the cordillera upon which it sits, lend it a constantly mild weather (though notoriously windy January through March).

Temperatures are highest in March and April, when the sun lies directly overhead and the summer rainfall has yet to begin.

The Basilica of Saint Sebastian, which stores several antique objects, stands out within the central park of this urban area.

Its streets show visitors the pretty facades of the houses and buildings, in addition to the iconic clock tower, famous for being a reference point for everyone in town.

The religious festivities of the city, which are held from January 17 to 27 in honor of Saint Sebastian, are the perfect time to see them.

Because the urban area of Diriamba is crossed by the Panamerican highway, it is very easy to get here either by private or public transportation.

Other important landmarks are the clock tower and the former site of the El Aguacate hydroelectric dam, now simply a waterfall.
