Inside iglesia de zarcero
Inside iglesia de zarcero
We made a quick stop to stretch and found this beautiful church. The plaza in front of it has a wonderfully maintained garden. We only had a few minutes but I could easily spend an afternoon looking around and appreciating the sights and tastes.
Iglesia de zarcero, parque de zarcero
Zarcero, located near the town of Sarchi, is as unique as they come, with a garden maze greeting oh at the front of the town’s cathedral. Walk along the sides of the garden to observe some timeless pieces all made from trees and bushes, featuring animal forms, faces, and even a dinosaur. As if the sights were not enough, make sure to pick up some of  zarcero’s “palmito” cheese, to immerse yourself fully in the local experience!

8.6/10 Excellent! (120 reviews)
Place was clean for the most part. No air conditioning but the weather wasn't crazy hot. Bathroom smelled really bad which was the worst I could say about this place. But the staff was amazing she was caring and attentive.

We stayed there for a night. It was kind of tiny and the bathroom was especially tiny. I would not recommend a long stay but is a convenient place close to the airport.
