Chorotega Arts & Crafts

The Chorotega Arts & Crafts museum is located near the Monte Verde District. The history of the Chorotega Tribe is shared with visitors from around the world on a daily basis. The Chorotega Tribe has used ancient environmentally friendly techniques to create outstanding master pieces for over 4,000 years. These unique and beautiful creations are made on location right at this museum for everyone to see and learn about the Chorotegas. Visitors may join a hands on activity in the heart of the San Rafael community, Guanacaste. Learn, watch and create your own master piece using Chorotega style techniques with Marcelo Oliveira, the expert behind this small museum. Time travel is possible when you visit the Chorotega Arts & Craft exhibit and experience art inspired by nature in a very "old" fashion way.

This place is amazing. Beautiful pottery and with nice prices. He also showed us the process for making pottery. Each piece takes many days to complete. Absolutely must stop here. Don't need 1-2 hours. We were there for 20 minutes.
