Visiting her unique home, you'll see paintings which often depict local wildlife and jungle scenes. Colorful signs with arrows show the way. It is also possible to drive most of the access road.

My friends and I hiked the path in the back of the monteverde institute about 100 feet from the cheese factory/ice cream store. (Btw, factory no longer does tours). Hike was free. After, we saw sign for “gallery” and came across house in the woods. The owner and artist, Sarah, has been living in Costa Rica since 1978. She welcomed us into her home and gallery. We looked at her collection of shells and her beautiful watercolors that capture the feel of the country. I purchased a pack of ten assorted greeting cards of her paintings. She spoke with us about the Quaker way of life which is a lot more “real” than most others. I’m glad to have happened upon her place.

Don’t miss this place if you can help it! This is the place where the guy will show you how he turns bowls from wood. He also will show off his fantastic garden which has sugar cane, a macadamia tree, and coffee plants amongst numerous others. He cut some cane for our family to try. He also has a bird feeder where we saw a Toucanette, and a Euphonia bird. He also let us try a lime right off the tree, and showed us his pineapple plant, plantain and banana trees. The gift shop features his woodwork, and the prices are the most reasonable there. You can find his work (probably his work) in gift shops, but this place has the best variety and prices. Best was when he let my husband try helping him turn a bowl on the lathe. The owner is a really kind man. We gave him money for generously sharing his time with us.
