If you are up for a 3 hour round-trip drive, the Guayabo Ruins are an absolute must-see. The drive is easy and gorgeous as you pass through several micro-climates. This Pre-Colombian archaeological site was once home to over 10,000 people! Why they suddenly left 500 years ago is still a mystery. These are considered to be the most significant ruins between those left by the Mayans in Mexico and the Incas in Perú.

Most amazing “Pre-Colombian archeological ruins” of an ancient “Former City” in Costa Rica! Well worth a visit, a picnic lunch, hiking, and discovering the wonders of a cultured civilization long before the arrival of the “Barbaric Europeans”?!?

The site is of great archeological and cultural importance even though only a very small portion of the city has been uncovered and studied. The monument covers 540 acres (218 ha) and is located on the forested southern slope of Turrialba Volcano. The settlement was occupied between 1000 BC and 1400 AD after which it was mysteriously abandoned. The reason is still unclear and the Spanish Conquistadors and settlers did not leave any record as to whether they found the ruins.
