Locally made handcrafts made from colorful jungle plants.

Within the market, you’ll find an entire row of stalls where vendors sell bracelets, paintings, and other beautiful creations. Most of the crafts are made from trees and plants that are native to the area. This is a great way to learn about local plants, and to find simple souveriers to bring back home.
