Day 45 (Sarchi - Souvenir Shopping)

Day 45 - My friend Bonnie and I went to Sarchi to go souvenir shopping. Sarchi is a 15 minute bus ride from Grecia. Sarchi is most widely recognized for its colorful and decorative oxcarts that have been made there for over a century:

Sarchi Central Park


A Costa Rican Art Monument: World's Biggest Ox Cart.
It is 20 meters in length and 3800 of inches of bitter cedar and laurel.
It was built and painted in 3 months with the support of 3 painters and 3 crafters.
