1. Hidden Garden Art Gallery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 72 reviews
A haven for the arts since 2010, the Hidden Garden Art Gallery offers quality original art in many mediums. HG is the largest of its kind in Guanacaste, more than 60 artists on exhibit, and 15 rooms full of paintings, sculptures and diverse artistic expressions. The gallery has 3,500 square feet of wall space, and more than 400 pieces on display. Rooms are coordinated by styles, ranging from geometric abstraction, to typical art, to underwater images. The Gallery is also home to the permanent exhibits of our resident artist Carlos Hiller underwater scenes, Susan Adams, Rebeca Alvarado Soto and many more. Our location, designed with a marvelous architecture, is the perfect setting for our cultural center. Our mission is to strengthen and heighten local artists' works and share the beauty and culture of Costa Rica.

We left this little shop with big smiles on our faces. Not only did we get some good deals, we also loved the owners Antonio and Valeria. Antonio speaks english fluently and is a very articulate gentleman. He took the time to chat with us about recent history of the area and he gave us some excellent advice about our planned visit to Palo Verde National Park. There is simply no substitute for local knowledge! Their young assistant, Diana, helps out in the store but also works in their little cafe and their adjoining outdoor restaurant. The shop is FULL of local handicraft items. They have a very nice variety of wood carvings, handicraft boxes, pottery, paintings, inexpensive jewelry and Costa Rican coffee. He generously offered us a 10% discount for paying cash even though we didn't ask. Prices in beach towns seem to be about 30 to 50% higher for comparable items. The shop is located on the main road between Liberia and the beach towns of Conchal, Brasilito, Playa Grande, Playa Flamingo and Palo Verde National Park and other tourist destinations west and south of Liberia. Stop in...you won't regret it!

A wonderful tour. Very interesting. Guide gave a great history of coffee and the roasting process. We truly enjoyed walking through the coffee plants, cocoa plants, and other vegetation. Had our bags of coffee signed by the roaster. Highly recommended.

If you like animals then this place is for you! Recently visited as a stop off between the airport and our hotel and we are so glad we did! You get to feed zebra, giraffe, ostrich, Indian cows and donkeys all on a safari style vehicle. Definitely buy two or more bags of carrots each at the shop in order to enjoy the experience as much as possible. They are only $2 each. We pre-booked online and then turned up and hopped into the safari tour straight away. Sit at the back of the truck for the best photos! The ride can get a little bumpy in parts of the park but all in all, a very comfortable ride. The animals are very friendly and the tour guides clearly know them by name and their personalities. It was good to see mains water pumped into troughs in the fields and food available (plus they eat carrots all day!) There is lots of space for the animals to roam too. The animals are not shy and will happily poke their heads into the truck to get their treats! It is such a great experience we left thrilled. We were in and out within 2 hours so it isn’t too much of a delay if you’re gonna en route to another location. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves animals!
