Experience a wonderful tour that combines beauty and nature, as well as the culture and art of Costa Rica. Grecia and Sarchi are two very special towns where you will discover the true roots of this wonderful country.
The Grecia and Sarchi tour begins with a beautiful, scenic drive through the province of Alajuela where you will be surrounded by many of the largest coffee and sugar cane plantations in Costa Rica. Upon arriving in Grecia, you will visit many points of interest including the famous metal church of our Lady of Mercy, which is the only metal church in Central American and a national monument that is a source of great pride to the local inhabitants.
Your tour will include visiting Sarchi, which is an artisan town world-famous for its furniture and handicraft factories, and some of the finest craftsmen in Costa Rica. Here you will visit the actual factories where the Costa Rican famous oxcarts are built. Ornately decorated in many different sizes, these oxcarts display a unique beauty found nowhere else. Once used to transport coffee beans through the mountains of Costa Rica to the coast, they are now available even in travel sizes so you can take one home with you.
This enjoyable half-day tour includes stopping at several factories and souvenir shops. |
