Sarchi Essentials

Sarchí is the center of Costa Rican woodworking and traditional art. This list features the town's most iconic landmarks, including the Guinness World Record-holding oxcart and the historic Fabrica de Carretas Eloy Alfaro, which still utilizes a water-powered wheel. Beyond the workshops, the area provides access to the volcanic landscapes of Poás Volcano National Park and its crater lakes. The region is also home to dramatic natural features like Catarata Del Toro, a 90-meter waterfall set within an extinct volcanic crater.
