This article tries to give a vision of the tram of the city of San Jose, as part of the Costa Rican cultural heritage, from the perspective of Historical Geography based on secondary sources, the exhaustive review of newspapers and information of the National Archive of Costa Rica. From there, we review some elements associated with this means of transport that is part of the cultural heritage (immaterial), of San Jose from the late nineteenth century to mid-twentieth century. Although the tram alludes to the past and recognizes the impossibility of recreating that past without altering it, its study allows us to rethink the city of San José not only towards the future, but also the changes that can be made to the landscape, customs, society and local culture
