Farmacia Interamericana Sur
About
Meet Farmacia Interamericana Sur, a pharmacy in Costa Rica that serves the Cartago area from inside the Servicentro El Guarco, frente a restaurante El Quijongo, in El Tejar. The counter handles prescriptions, over-the-counter remedies and everyday health supplies for residents and travellers passing through the province.
Visitors heading to San José or continuing towards Puerto Viejo can break the journey at El Tejar and restock a first-aid kit or replace forgotten medication before the road climbs onward. A score of 4.1 out of 5, taken from 17 customer reviews, places the pharmacy among the recognised stops in the district. Staff dispense medicines to walk-in customers and to those arriving by car at the service centre.
El Tejar sits on the main route between the capital and the Caribbean lowlands, so a stop here fits naturally into a travel day. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast and is served in the sodas around the service centre each morning.
With the country's forests and coasts home to sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws, a small supply of plasters, insect repellent and rehydration salts is worth carrying.
