Costa Rica Things to Do

Despite its wealth of remarkable pre-Columbian artifacts, including iconic polychrome pottery, enigmatic stone spheres, and priceless jade and gold pieces, Costa Rica once struggled proud to display the work of its ancient indigenous artisans. These unique styles, crafted where North and South American nations have long mingled, have only in recent decades been accorded the museums they deserve, such as the excellent Jade Museum, glittering Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, and the National Museum of Costa Rica.
