chunche
chun·che
noun · Costa Rican Spanish · plural: chunches (there are always more)
A thing. A thingy. A whatchamacallit, a doohickey, a gizmo. *Any object in the known universe*, especially one whose actual name has momentarily escaped you.
The most useful word in Costa Rica. Learn this one word and you can, technically, ask for anything.
"Pásame ese chunche." — Hand me that thingy. "¿Y este chunche qué hace?" — And what does this thingy do? "Traé tus chunches." — Bring your stuff.
— Ticos, daily, since forever
And a *chunchería*? A glorious little collection of chunches — welcome to ours.

Why Chunchería
Small chunches, big deal
Made by local hands
Every product is sourced directly from Costa Rican makers, family kitchens, and small workshops — no middlemen, no mass production.
Every chunche has a story
Who made it, where, and how. Each product comes with its maker's story, so what you take home means something.
Good for Costa Rica
Your purchase goes straight back into local communities — keeping traditions alive and small workshops thriving.
