Costa Rican-made souvenirs range from knickknack to heirloom quality, with some really special items in between. Costa Rican coffee and local hot sauces are always popular, and handmade wood crafts, ceramics, jewelry, hammocks and leather crafts make for great gifts to take home. For a little more authentic Souvenirs. Ask about visiting the BRI BRI Indian reservation. The descendants of the local Indians are famous for their colorful hand made and painted traditional masks or some spices at the local Spice Farm!
