World’s Largest Oxcart - Costa Rica Carreta at Sarchi

in #costarica9 years ago (edited)

Costa Rica is known for many things, one of them is the 'carretas' or oxcarts, built and hand painted in the beautiful mountain town of Sarchi. I visited the other day this nice place and I got to see the world's largest carreta.

It is huge!

They keep it very well protected

Costa Rica Carretas are nice art pieces. No matter the size.

It's a very nice place to hang out and sit for a moment to enjoy the weather, place and see the people
