The different constructions in this unique theme park highlight the various architectural trends found in Costa Rica between 1880 and 1930.

The combination of live actors, oxcarts, horses, cattle, a train, horse drawn carriages, boats, live music, folkloric dances, restaurants and shops present a vibrant living experience allusive to the past. Typical night dinner & show includes: folkloric dance, a short theater play, typical music (such as marimba), a typical dinner followed by a typical Costa Rican parade with masquerades, live music, fireworks, etc. All this goes on in a recreated setting of a typical Costa Rican town at the turn of the century, featuring: the City, the Rural Area, the Coastal Areas and the Costa Rican Customs. This setting is immersed in a 5 Hectare property in San José.
