Welcome to
GuayaboCostaRica.com

Guayabo is the ancient pre-columbian city lost to the dense tropical rain forests of Costa Rica Atlantic Coastal Region.  An ancient city complete the raised stone foundations, and amazing stone paved highways stretching possibly hundreds of miles.  It also contains unique ancient stone carvings of alligator, jaguar, insects, and incredibly complex petroglyphs. 

The people of Guayabo ingeniously engineered Pre-Columbian aqueducts where water still flows, and paved roads receding into a lush rainforest.  The tombs, and stone, pottery, jade, and gold artifacts reveal a Prehispanic  Costa Rican past far mistier than the cloud forests for which this land is famous known.  Guayabo is now a protected national park and open to tourist.
