Dieter540,

I believe you are talking about the Border Zone.

The free Zone is not a complex or mall, it's like a flea market, I mean plenty of street stands and of course you will find warehouses and stores.
I was there recently and prices are not that bad, however I don't think I would buy cameras and things like that over there since there is no way to make effective any kind of guarantee on any of the items.

I rater go to Deposito Libre de Golfito where every shop you go will provide guarantee in down town. Now to go to Golfito you need to have a costarican ID. If you have a Tico freind that can help you can make an excursion down there for about $25 and go to both locations (Golfito and Border) for the same price.

Let me know if you need more help

Mente

Thanks for the good advice Buddy, I will probably take you up on more information either before I leave or when I get down there.
