Costa Rica's most significant archaeological site, a pre-Columbian city on the slopes of Turrialba Volcano occupied for over two millennia. Stone causeways, circular mounds, and aqueducts that still carry water reveal sophisticated ancient engineering. Interpretive trails loop through rainforest where oropendolas nest above the ruins.
