Depart the pier for a scenic approximately 1¾ hour drive to Sierpe, unfolding like a scenic journey through the lush landscapes of Costa Rica, where winding roads lead you past dense rainforests, picturesque coastal vistas, and charming rural communities.
When you arrive in Sierpe – home to Finca 6 – you’ll visit one of the four archaeological collections of unique stone spheres located in chiefdom settlements from the Pre-Columbian period (500-1500 CE). The site is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Some theories made by archeologists and other experts suggest that the spheres are aligned with the stars and served as monumental compasses. Local lore says that these spheres were the playthings of the gods for controlling the weather, but the truth remains and will probably be forever unknown.
Enjoy a guided visit around this fascinating site and visit the museum, showcasing artifacts found around the stones.
After this amazing encounter with the past, replenish with a savory Costa Rican lunch before returning to the pier.
