Grecia and Sarchi Day Trip from San Jose

start date: 2009-10-20
end date: 2009-12-29

The tour begins with a scenic drive through some of Costa Rica's largest coffee and sugar cane plantations. Admire the tropical landscape as you arrive in the town of Grecia.

Renowned for its famous steel church of the Lady of Mercy, Grecia is rich in architectural beauty. The church is made entirely of pre-fabricated metal plates which have been painted red. A rare sight, and a must-see while in Costa Rica.

The magic of this tour continues with a visit to the country's artisan town of Sarchi, where the famous oxcarts are built. You will have the opportunity to tour the fascinating factories and watch how the carts are constructed. Splendidly decorated in various sizes, these oxcarts are treasured for their unique beauty. The carts were once used to transport coffee beans over the mountains to the coast, and you won’t want to leave Costa Rica without one!
