Ferretería Smith
About
Found on Costa Rica, Ferretería Smith occupies a position at 4C28+49Q, 415, Limón, El Cruce de La Alegría, Costa Rica, on the Caribbean side of the country. The 3.8 out of 5 average across 18 reviews reflects a small but established following in the area. Limón province sits away from the Pacific resorts, so reaching it usually means a longer drive from San José or a domestic flight.
San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde are the main centres visitors use as bases, and Limón sits closer to Puerto Viejo than to the Pacific towns. El Cruce de La Alegría is a small settlement rather than a resort, so a stop here fits a journey along the Caribbean coast. Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts, though Limón itself stays warm and humid.
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. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other in Costa Rica, so a route through Limón can take in several landscapes.
