Ancient Ruins

What people are saying

“Nice, but they are not ruins in reality”

Aug 2018

The place is beautiful and like all Costa Rica, very green and pleasant. It is important to mention that More than ruins is a parochial temple that was never finished for different reasons and now it is only the vestige of a construction, however it is a must stop in many of the tours and it will not take much time, so if You see it as part of a tour, take it and enjoy it.
