Tapir Chocolates
About
In Costa Rica, Tapir Chocolates works from Barrio Escalante in San José, at 10101.
The business trades in chocolate, and Barrio Escalante has become the city's food and drink quarter, which puts the shop among the capital's cafés and restaurants. A 4.9 out of 5 average across 41 reviews marks it out as one of the best-reviewed stops of its kind in San José. First-time visitors can expect a small, focused operation where the chocolate itself is the draw.
The shop's San José base makes it a natural first stop on arrival, before heading out to Tamarindo, Manuel Antonio, La Fortuna or Monteverde. Costa Rica drives on the right, and intercity buses are the main form of public transport for reaching those destinations.
The country has a tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, so the drier months suit travel between the coast and the central valley. Coffee shaped the economy from the nineteenth century, and chocolate sits alongside it as a local product worth seeking out.
