A local experience among mountains, organic flavors, and Costa Rican crafts
Are you visiting our park on a Tuesday? Make the most of your day! Just a short distance away is the Tinamastes Hippie Market, an organic and artisan fair held every Tuesday morning. You can combine your park visit with a trip to this colorful local market full of life, flavors, and Costa Rican culture.
More than just a market, it’s a cultural experience where sustainability, natural wellness, and community spirit come together in a rural setting surrounded by lush mountains and nature.
🕗 When and where?
📍 Tinamastes, Pérez Zeledón
📅 Every Tuesday
⏰ 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
This market takes place in the small yet vibrant town of Tinamastes, right on the main road between Dominical and San Isidro. It’s very accessible if you’re staying in Uvita, Dominical, Platanillo, or even San Gerardo Valley.
And remember: if you’re visiting the park on a Tuesday, you can also stop by the market—it’s very close by. It’s a great way to enrich your trip with a unique cultural experience.
One of the main reasons to visit this market is its wide variety of locally grown organic products: tropical fruits, fresh vegetables, pasture-raised eggs, raw honey, artisan bread, chocolate, kombucha, and more.
Everything sold here shares one thing in common: it’s made with environmental awareness and love for the land. Many vendors are small-scale producers from sustainable farming communities in the area.
The market also offers a broad selection of handmade crafts: jewelry with natural stones, clothing dyed with organic pigments, woven bags, natural cosmetics, and home decor items.
Each piece reflects the holistic, artistic lifestyle of the community. You’ll also often find live music, local artists, and alternative therapies such as massage, reiki, or natural medicine.
More than a shopping fair, the Hippie Market is a meeting place for locals and travelers alike. It’s a space for sharing, conversation, healthy breakfasts, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
There’s a sense of peace and connection that makes every Tuesday in Tinamastes feel special and unique. Each visit leaves a lasting impression.
The Tinamastes Hippie Market is a must-stop for anyone wanting to experience the more human, creative, and conscious side of southern Costa Rica. It’s not just a market—it’s an experience that connects you with the land, the community, and a simpler, healthier, more harmonious way of life.
