About

On Costa Rica, El mercadito del pueblo sits contiguo a Ferretería Palmares, sobre carretera interamericana Palmares, Daniel Flores, San José, Pérez Zeledón, 11901, Costa Rica.

El mercadito del pueblo is known for its position on the Interamericana at Palmares in the Pérez Zeledón canton of San José province. First-time visitors should expect a roadside stop rather than a city-centre address, with parking and access from the main highway. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 179 reviews gives it a solid standing among those who have stopped there.

San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all lie within reach of the Interamericana, making the venue a natural pause on a longer drive. Costa Rica has a tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, so a December-to-April visit keeps the roads drier.

Sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts. The country lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, with volcanic ranges running down its centre.
