Looking for something to take home to commemorate your stay in San Jos�, Costa Rica? Don't forget to visit this three-story shopping complex that offers an extra-large selection of souvenirs, with everything from clothing to jewelry, fabrics and ceramics. Some vendors carry a selection of Guatemalan and Honduran crafts and specialty items at this shopping haven, but it's always best to ask the item's origin, if you care. It's the perfect stop for an afternoon of browsing, but don't expect authenticity at every turn, however unusual finds and good bargains may be had with a bit of sleuthing through the stalls.
