Guacamole: fun clothes to bring home

  • The clothes are great! Have a look and see for yourself. The owner works in the Laurentian mountains in Canada during the summer and in Jaco beach during the winter. I'm not sure who creates and sews the designs. They do a good job

    $90 for a dress.

    by BEETLE_VERTE
    Pastor Diaz, the main street crossing through the city of Jaco, abounds in little shops. With regards to the surfer spirit of the city, you'll easilly find: hats, swimsuit, surf equipment, flip-flop, little memorabilia. With some shopping around, you'll also find woodcraft, local arts and painting.

    This is the place for a new bikini or beer hat.

    Average. No real deal, but no obvious overcharge either.

    Shooping in Jaco pratically resumes on Avenida Pastor Diaz (Pastor Diaz Ave). Well, I can certainly say that this is main street in Jaco. To shopp you just have to go up and down on this Avenue.

    Buy typical stuff, as most of the stores charges in dollar. Some stores give you 10% when you spend over certain amount. But you have to ask for...
    Wood gifts, t-shirts, hammock...

    Sometimes the same T-shirt next door can be 1000 colones less. But you have to shop if you want to save some money or if you are in a budget.

    The majority of the shops in Jaco are geared towards the tourist and they sell just about the same stuff.

    We tried to haggle the price down quite a few times with no luck unless you buy in quanity. I imagine if you worked on it for a while, you could get the merchants to drop the price by a dollar or two. But, is it really worth it?

    Coffee, Coffee and more Coffee. Try to avoid buying coffee at any of the tourist shops. Venture into the local grocery store and see the price difference for you self.

    A 1 pound bag of coffee might sell for $8 on the street, but in the grocery store you will probably find it for about $2.

    A couple would do fine with between $50-$75 a day (including meals).

    This is a supermarket. It's on the main street in the beginning of Jaco. They have everything...we would buy our guara and fresca here (the local drink). So drinks, snacks are good to buy here...or also aloe, suntan lotion, etc.

    The jugs made in Nicaragua are wonderful . They are really unique in color and shape. I love them . The are sold on every street corner.
    You don't see as many of them in other areas of Costa Rica

    They cost between $4.00 and $12.00 each depending on the size.
