Sarchí

Sarchí is a village that is very famouse for it's craftwork.
On the foto is one of the few very nice souvenir shops with souvenirs that are actually made in this region (and not made in China).

On day an artist had the idea of painting one of the ox-carts that the farmers here used a lot. Since then the carretas (painted ox-carts) are the most famous craftworks of this region. And for the tourists they paint them in all possible sizes. The smallest are 2 cm long and this is a foto of the biggest I saw:
