About

Found on Costa Rica, El Artesano Tico occupies Av 8 y 10 calle 17 local 856 in San José.

The venue maintains a website at http://www.elartesanotico.com/ for visitors organising a stop.

San José sits at the centre of the country, and the address on calle 17 places it within the capital's downtown grid. The business deals in artisan goods, with a 4.7/5 rating from 21 reviews reflecting how customers regard it. Costa Rican cooking uses fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, and coffee from the Central Valley is a major export.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. Green and leatherback turtles nest on the Caribbean beaches, while olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings.

Visitors based in the capital will find the location central, while those coming from the coastal resorts should allow for the drive inland. A 4.7/5 rating from 21 reviews marks it as a well-regarded stop in San José.
