Sarchi Attractions

Sarchí is the major craft-making center of Costa Rica. The small town is divided by the Trojas River into north and south quarters and stretches for several kilometres/miles. The main plaza in Sarchí Norte (North Sarchí) features a twin-towered church, some restaurants and a few accommodations.

The main reason to visit Sarchí is for the crafts that are generally carved out of local, natural woods. Artisans can be observed carving and painting wooden ox-carts, carving boards and unique wooden jewellery. Several furniture factories are also found in Sarchí.
