Guayabo National Monument

This is the closest that Costa Rica has to ancient ruins – that have been uncovered and are available to tour. We had a tour guide take us along with our friends on the walk through the forest. They had a working aqueduct system still. The highest mound had the Chiefs house made of balsa.

This bird is rare to see.
They were nestled high on the mountain between two rivers and the Turrialba volcano which is still active.
