Biesanz Woodworks

Come see our world famous woodwork made; tour our beautiful botanical garden and pond; buy a memorable souvenir in our art gallery.

Reviewed By WhitneyDevon - Sarasota, United States

Biesanz Woodworks is a true hidden gem just south of downtown Escazu. I was traveling by myself and went there to see the workshop and amazing creations. Minor, my tour guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable of the land, plants, and wildlife around the workshop. He explained the different types of wood used and the process how each piece is hand crafted. it was truly incredible!! The bowls in the gallery are all one of a kind and unique. I left with 2 beautiful wood bowls. Definitely worth the visit!
