The Hidden Garden Art Gallery and the Tres Amigos Realty office in Playas del Coco have teamed up to promote local Costa Rican artists. With permission from the artists, the Tres Amigos Pacifico Retail Village office has become one of only a few display sites where you can view the artwork away from the gallery. All of the art pieces are for sale. We are proud to be able to showcase the great talent we have here in Guanacaste.
Palo Verde National Park

ÑAMPI, also known as taro
Ñampi is a root vegetable that must be cooked well and shouldn't be eaten raw. In its raw form, it contains calcium oxalate which, when ingested, can cause kidney stones. When boiled, it's best to put in a pinch of baking soda to help leach out the calcium oxalate from the vegetable.
