Long-running boutique offering fine jewelry crafted from jade, plus exhibits about the stone.

👍👍 You could easily spend a whole day here. Coffee farm tour, music store tour, chocolate workshops, places to shop, eat, drink, horseback riding, bike rentals and so many photo worthy places. The coffee tour was so cool and the guide was thorough. I learned a lot. Educational and fun. Highly recommend...
