Museum sights in Northwestern Costa Rica

1. Ecomuseo de las Minas de Abangares

   • Juntas, Costa Rica
   • Sights › Museum

   OK, so the terms ‘eco’ and ‘mining’ don’t mix well, but it’s worth seeing the photographs and models depicting the old mining practices of the area. On the grounds are a picnic area and children’s play area, and a good system of trails that skirt mining artifacts. There’s also good bird-watching (and iguana-ing) along the trails, and monkeys are occasionally glimpsed.

2. Municipal Museum

   • Liberia, Costa Rica

   The tourist office has a tiny museum of local ranching artifacts - cattle-raising is a historically important occupation in Guanacaste. There has also been talk of reopening a museum of sabanero culture in La Gobernación, the old municipal building at the corner of Av Central and Calle Central.
