San Jose Central Market (Mercado Central)

A huge range of meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, coffees, and other products are for sale including snakeskin boots and cowboy saddles, herbal remedies, flowers, cooked meals, souvenirs, and local handcrafts. Tens of thousands of people visit the market daily.

Not recommended for tourists. This market was an amazing experience if you want to see more of Costa Rica, but it was not the tourist friendly place we expected. Parking is impossible to find and we ended up in a bad area where multiple locals told us to get out of there as soon as possible.
