Description
A key artisan craft town in Costa Rica, Sarchi is best known for the vibrant and pretty oxcarts that are handcrafted here and sold all over the country. A national symbol of Costa Rica, the oxcart plays a key role in the country’s history, as they were used to transport coffee beans & other goods to nearby and faraway markets and ports. Starting in 1840’s most of the rural roads were very rough making the ox cart the sole means of transportation for families even though the trips could take weeks at times.
Highly ornate, these oxcarts are wonderfully carved and hand-painted with bright, vibrant colors. Some of the same designs are used in other art throughout the village like on this wall art mural found in the downtown area of Sarchi depicting a rural farm scene typical of the area.
