This is a must visit place while staying at San Jose. Connell is knowledgeable and helpful for selecting among the variety of original arts and crafts. We will definitely go there again if we return to Costa Rica.

Really nice shop and great owner, who is happy to explain the pieces and their origins. Prices are very good for the quality and authenticity - this is a fair trade gallery, not a cheap souvenir shop. However, there were items for every budget and I think you’ll be very satisfied. Lots of masks, wood carvings, paintings, and neat reproductions of the pre-Colombian jewelry you saw at the museums. Be aware that due to Covid-19 staffing issues, you should definitely call or text the shop to set up a meeting time! He is very willing to drive in, just for one group of people. Can either ship or pack for you to carry home.
