Welcome to Sarchí, the heart of Costa Rica's artisan culture, where the vibrant tradition of the painted oxcart comes to life. You'll be charmed by the colorful streets and the palpable creativity in the air. Be sure to visit a local workshop to see artisans meticulously hand-painting the intricate designs on the famous 'carretas,' a symbol of our national heritage. Don't miss the world's largest oxcart, a perfect photo opportunity in the central park, and wander through the local market for unique, handcrafted souvenirs.
