La fortuna has quite a few good little family run shops that offers the general lot of touristy trinkets that one would want to buy. Wood working is popular here and lots of these kinds of items can be bought for cheap. The prices are good (always bargain) and the selection is great. Not the same kind of hassle as in San Jose as well. Take your time and walk through the main street shopping the different stores before making your pick and enjoy

There are lots of shops all over town selling typical fare like hats TShirts , and ornaments. The prices are slightly higher here than other areas of CR. They ddidn't offer anything unique.
