Sarchi mini-carts
This item appears on page 53 of the December 2009 issue.
My wife, Kathy-Lee, and I enjoyed the Costa Rica story by Jeanette Dewey (Sept. ’09, pg. 20), as it brought back memories of our 10-day trip with Caravan Tours in April ’08.
One thing not mentioned about the town of Sarchi is that you can buy any size ox cart and have it shipped to you by the factory Fábrica de Carretas Chaverri (Box 19-4150, Sarchí, Costa Rica; phone [506] 2454-4411 or 4412, fax 4944 or visit http://sarchicostarica.net).
Ours measures 20 by 23 by 39 inches. It came knocked down but took only 10 minutes to assemble. It was delivered to our door and cost about $300 including shipping (FedEx Saver).
