Attraction in Turrialba
Explore Costa Rica’s oldest Pre-Columbian site on a captivating day trip. Depart early in one of Pacuare’s 4WD SUVs for a scenic 1.5-hour drive through the Talamanca Mountains to Guayabo National Monument at the base of Turrialba Volcano. These 3,000-year-old ruins, once home to about 10,000 people, remain shrouded in mystery—were they abandoned due to disease, invasion, or other reasons? Today’s Cabécar people are descendants of Guayabo’s former residents. Discover the ancient city with a knowledgeable guide and return to the lodge for a late lunch or refreshment.
