2 Best Shopping in Arenal, Monteverde, and the Northern Lowlands, Costa Rica

Stop into this atelier for a unique, elevated gift or keepsake that you will not see in the big souvenir shops: jewelry, art, T-shirts, chocolate, honey, spices, and soaps, all handmade in Costa Rica by local artisans. You can even watch the jewelry being made, and a portion of the proceeds goes to reforestation efforts.

Although the strip mall doesn't provide the most picturesque setting, inside you'll find lovely souvenirs and other Costa Rican--made items that you won’t see at the typical tourist traps. The store features handmade leather purses, beautiful and affordable jewelry, totes, art, scarves, and home goods.
