When you need a break from surf, sun, and hiking, you should consider a visit to The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum in San Jose, which is home to an astonishing 1,600 individual gold artifacts that date back to the pre-Columbian era.
You can start your visit by watching a short orientation video (in English), which will pave the way for you to explore the exhibits in your own time – audio guides are available for rental and you can pre-book a guided tour if you prefer a more in-depth experience. Located in the same building, you will also find the National Coin Museum and the Casa de Moneda, which documents the history of minting in Costa Rica.
Address: The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Street 5, San Jose, Costa Rica, Phone: 5-06-22-43-42-02
