Best Shopping in Costa Rica

Local Recommendations from our My Guide Costa Rica team

Shopping in Costa Rica can be accomplished a variety of ways. In San Jose and the Central Valley, large malls, specialty stores, art galleries and souvenir shopping is easy with an array of shopping sights and favorites such as Escazu.

As you travel away from the larger cities the shopping changes into Boutique Hotel, Resort shops, small community stores, surf shops for beach gear, small local art galleries and abundant souvenir sources. The locals have roadside stands that give quick stops for souvenirs, beach towels, jewelry and more so don't miss stopping at some of these.
