      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Colorado are best to fly into from San José?",
        "answer": "From San José, Costa Rica, Denver International Airport is the primary gateway with the most flight options, often connecting through U.S. hubs. It serves as the best entry point for exploring the Rocky Mountains, ski resorts like Vail and Breckenridge, and the city of Denver itself. For southern Colorado destinations like Colorado Springs or the San Luis Valley, flying into Colorado Springs Airport may offer closer access, though flights are less frequent and typically require a connection. Denver remains the most practical choice for road trips across the state due to its central location and extensive car rental facilities."
