Historical Sites Visiting in Turrialba
Guayabo Archeological Monument in Turrialba is Costa Rica's only archeological site; ancient stone carvings of alligators and jaguar gods, ingeniously engineered pre-columbian aqueducts where water still flows, and paved roads receding into a lush rain forest. Basically a half day trip. The park closes at 3:30 pm and is most interesting when visited with a guide that you can find at the entrance of the park and works for tips.
To be paid at the spot: $6 entrance and $10 in total for the guide. Transportation not included.
