Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This church is beautiful. It is a must see even for a few minutes. It is in the center of town so there is an excitement in the air. Across the street is the park which I love to visit and just sit on the benches. There is HUGE Costa Rican Ox Cart in the park and at night the enclosure is lit up with multi-colored lights. It is a special place in a special country.

We go to Sarchi around once a year when friends visit and we want to show them around. The church is in the same park as the big oxcart, so it's a nice stop to look around and stretch your legs. The only thing is that the church doesn't seem to ever be open when we go there (most recently it was on a Sunday afternoon). But supposedly it's nice inside. Outside, it's picturesque and we really like the painting and the bas relief-type figures.

A must see!!! Make Sachí a destination point to visit this town and its beautiful church. Take the time to walk the grounds and go inside to enjoy the solitude and architectural design.

Most towns in Costa Rica have a Catholic church bear the center of town. Sarchi is no different. Beautiful architecture for this little artist town.

As this is situated next to the park with the world's largest ox cart it is easy to visit at the same time. A beautiful church, typical of several you will find across Costa Rica.

This is a beautiful twin tower church overlooking the small park in the centre of town. Chandeliers hang down through the centre of the church lighting up the impressive ceiling.

This visit was a part of my trip to La Fortuna, where we were going to visit Cigarron with the amazing hot spring waters. The church is nearby the little town's square. It's really parroquial, bringing back lots of memories from colonial times. Wonderful.

Iglesia de Sarchi is located in Sarchi, Costa Rica's Central Valley, across the street from La Carreta, the world's largest painted ox cart. The church is known for it's wood carvings, twin towers and vaulted ceiling. It a a lovely little church worth stopping of a quick visit if in town.

Stopped here to check out the church in Sarchi on my way to La Fortuna. It’s a beautiful church building and sits next to a nice park right in the center of this small, yet charming town.
