Ujarras Church Ruins


Ujarras Valley was the place where the first city was settled in our country by the spanish. They opted for this valley because it was the most secure place against the pirates that ruled the Carribean Sea and Pacific Ocean. This ruins are the witnesses of the first church that was built in Costa Rica in the XVII century, and they can be considered as the most valuable colonial jewel of the country. Beside the ruins, the Costarican Tourist Bureau (ICT), has built a recreational area in front of the lake where you can enjoy nautic activities, green areas to rest and picnic areas to enjoy your meals.
