Alajuela Safari 1: Bar Chaves

Classic chinchorro exterior

Classic chinchorro ladies' room, sealed off with a padlock.
Thanks to MJ for valuable research.


Classic chinchorrero. Friendly and not exceedingly sober.

Bar Chaves is IWCRPs official first choice in Alajuela. It has all you expect from a typical costarican chinchorro; cheap beer, elderly drunks, posters with scantily clad ladies and local football teams from the 1970s, hand written threats to mutilate any client who does not pay and a padlock on the door to the ladies' room. It appears that the owner played on several of the football teams depicted on the wall.
