Booked this taxi through Scuba Caribe right on the Riu Guanacaste resort. $20 US return per person to Coco Beach. Very convenient and the guides were friendly and took the time to explain the history and sights as we travelled to and from. I would highly recommend.

Reviewed By angelof527 - Ottawa, Canada

Love going to this wonderful Catholic church. The mass time on Sunday now starts at 11 sharp not 10!! Be sure to be there 10 to 15 minutes before 11 as it gets filled up to standing room. The mass is mostly in Spanish but new priest had made a real effort to say some of the mass in English!

Rojas Bros Boruca Indigenous Arts

Back in its original location in Coco center, across from the Panaderia Tutu, Rojas Bros. Boruca Indigenous Art & Gallery is the first ever art space and gallery in Coco Beach to exhibit the beautiful artisanry from our home village of Boruca, a small indigenous reserve in the southern part of Costa Rica. We are, Domingo Rojas, an artist from the Borucan reserve and a large family of artists, painters, sculptors, and weavers, and Graceann Barrett, from New York. We are now living in Coco and want to share the traditional arts of our indigenous culture with this beautiful beach community. We feature many other of the talented artists from Boruca who visit Coco Beach to exhibit their work and help to support the greater economy of our home town. We bring a wealth of information regarding the art, culture and environmental protection of the Borucan people. Our primary works of art are elaborated from balsa wood into the intricate Little Devil or environmental masks, always representing the flora and fauna native to Costa Rica, and always in recognition of the legacy left behind by the Borucan ancestors. Rojas Bros invites innovative art utilizing new techniques and styles. We also offer traditional weaving using natural cotton fibers and dyes made by the Borucan women, and various pieces of jewelry and other crafts that demonstrate the Borucan skills as artisans. Come visit the Rojas Bros. Boruca Indigenous Art & Gallery!

Alessandra Cola Art

Reviewed By creece007

Alessandra is from Rome and came to Costa Rica about 12 years ago. Her art is lively and colorful with hints of playfulness. I have bought several pieces and she is an artist that continues to gain popularity. The gallery is located off the main drag in Playas del Coco and attached to the Coco Beach Hotel. Both Alessandra and Marco are very warm people and kind.
