José
you will find the city of Sarchi. Sarchi is located
in the Alajuela Province which is located
in Costa Rica's Central Valley. Sarchi is well known for beautiful woodcrafts
and hand painted ox-carts. There are many shops in Sarchi featuring woodcrafts
and many colorful tropical designs.
The city is located on the
slopes of the Poas volcano (semi-dormant). See the tall steeples of Sarchi's
pink church and see some really cool manicured Gardens at Zarcero's church
(in the Northern limit of the Central Valley).
