Nestled in the artisan town of Sarchí, this place is the only hydraulic powered ox cart factory in costa rica. Founded in 1923, these ox carts were originally made without fancy decorations and only created to move produce from the central valley to puntarenas. Now, it takes 120 days to decorate one ox cart, and 5 years to train as an ox cart artist. This shop alone has employed 2,600 families in Sarchí
