Mirador Donde Andrés
The best most authentic Costa Rican restaurant in the area. Great home cooked food! Jania and Adres are the best. They're so welcoming. They have mountain and ocean view from the restaurant. This is a great place to stop for food and drinks after tours.
Tico Art Pod
This two-story shop has a wide variety of hand-crafted items, some from local indigenous people, art, masks, ceramics, fabric items, purses, handbags, jewelry and more. The offerings are a definite step above the usual tourist trinkets, but not unaffordable.
