Trading hours run through the day, so a visit can be fitted around other plans. The market is a working place rather than a staged attraction, and the mix of vendors shifts as the day goes on.
Costa Rica's forests and coasts are home to sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws, so a market visit can sit alongside wildlife-watching elsewhere on the trip. Spanish is the everyday language, and the local habit of saying pura vida captures the relaxed pace visitors notice. Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations, which makes moving between the market and the coast straightforward. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season while the Caribbean stays wet for much of the year, so the timing of a journey shapes what a visitor sees.
