COSTA RICA

Boruca Gallery Gift Shop is located at Pacific Edge Eco Lodge in Dominicalito, just south of Playa Dominical, created by Susan Atkinson 24 years ago, and now under new ownership with Michaelynn and Sid Vandiver. The Gallery has a wide collection of only the best detailed carved masks/wall hangings as well as hand-woven, naturally dyed 100% cotton products such as placemats, table runners, tote bags and yoga mat carriers. Our Gallery works closely with the village, being one of the largest buyers, since 2015 we have bought and sold 1700 masks and nearly 1200 woven products at a fair trade price. This means that not only do the Borucans get paid a good price directly; the buyer also does not get charged a huge mark-up. The Gallery wants as many sales as possible to keep the money flow going into the Borucan village as 80% of their income comes from their handcrafted products. Our stock is changing constantly; there are always new products available. At any one time, there are 25 - 40..
