Sights in Barva

  1. Museo de Cultura Popular

    Located in Santa Lucía de Barva, about 1.5km southeast of Barva, this small museum is run by the Universidad Nacional and located in a restored 19th-century farmhouse that exhibits period pieces, such as domestic and agricultural tools. It is best to reserve a tour ahead of time, when staff can arrange a hands-on visit – which might include using the beehive-shaped clay oven to make traditional foods (though this may require a minimum number of people).

    Barva is also an excellent base from which to hike the little-visited Volcán Barva.
