About

For a pharmacy in Costa Rica, Farmacia Lafuente sits at WWHF+6V3, San José, Barrio Chino, Costa Rica, placing it in the capital's Barrio Chino district. Travellers passing through San José can reach the counter for prescriptions and everyday remedies without leaving the city centre.

Visitors needing medicine will find the pharmacy positioned in a central San José neighbourhood, which makes it a convenient stop for those arriving by intercity bus or moving between the capital and other destinations. Two photographs show the premises for anyone wanting a look before setting out. A rating of 4.2 out of 5, drawn from 10 reviews, reflects a modest but positive following among customers.

The pharmacy occupies a spot in Barrio Chino, within San José, and other places on the island such as Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde lie further afield. Two images accompany the listing, giving a glimpse of the counter area before a visit.

Costa Rica drives on the right, and intercity buses form the main public transport network, so a pharmacy stop in the capital fits easily into a journey between coasts. The Pacific side enjoys a marked dry season while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish uses vos and the phrase pura vida, which helps when describing symptoms at the counter. Volcanic ranges run down the centre of the country between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
