GUAYABO
Turrialba, Cartago
|
This park is located at the foot of Turrialba Volcano in the city
of the same name in the province of Cartago. This is the largest and
most important archaeological discovery so far in the country. It was
inhabited from 1000 BC to 1400 AC, although its peak development was
between 300 and 700 AC, precisely when the stone structures visible
even today were built. The Park extends across 218 hectares and protects
all the archaeological sites such as causeways, hillocks, bridges, retaining
walls, burials, petroglyphs, reservoirs and aqueducts. Access is best
throught Turrialba. A guard at the park entrance also provides information
to visitors.
