My family and I recently returned from a 10-day visit to Costa Rica. Our trip was fantastic, and one of the primary reasons was thanks to our wonderful drivers from ILT who drove us from San Jose to Manuel Antonio, from MA to the Cloud Forest, and from Arenal to San Jose, Our drivers were always prompt, extremely safe, and incredibly friendly. One of our drivers, Damien, found a lost credit card in his car and decided to drop it off at our next destination on his own time to help us out. Another driver drove us to several pharmacies along the way to our destination when our son had an attack of bronchitis. We were so grateful in both instances. In addition, the cars are equipped with Wi-Fi, so our children passed the long car rides without complaining. Cars were clean and comfortable, and the drivers were very engaging and excited to share their beautiful country and culture with us. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone traveling to Costa Rica. They took away all of the travel stress and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation.

The Jade Museum and of precolumbian culture is positioned as an innovative state-of-the-art cultural proposal in the protection and conservation of archaeological heritage in Central America. Located in the center of Costa Rics's capital, the building was especially constructed to house the museum's collection, its architecture evoking a cut jade block. Its five levels exhibit objects crafted by artisans specialized in solving their daily subsistence needs, their spiritual and political world.

This museum, also reviewed by Trip Advisor visitors under its name, Museo de Jade (ha-day), has an overwhelming collection of jade and pottery (and a few gold works) recovered from parts of Costa Rica. At first I was a bit frustrated by the volume of materials without much information, until I learned that there were supposed to be (and are) computer screens/kiosks which will tell you more; many of them were not working, but many were (I learned). In any case, soon I was immersed in the experience, as there are many informative displays, including dioramas. The "day" and "night" exhibits, and the "memories" exhibit, are stunning. I spent more time than most people (based on being "passed" many times), I was enthralled. Do allow at least a couple hours. There are quite a few activities for young people, I think it's a good family museum, overall. Spanish is of course the dominant language, but there are many signs and subtitles in English. In sum, this museum helped me realize just how complex and complete pre-Columbian Costa Rican culture was. Fascinating art and artisanry, you will make an authentic connection with these peoples.

A large collection of indigenous gold art.
Reviewed By F912ZCjosem
It's an excellent option while in San Jose. In particular, during rainy days. This attraction is very affordable and will entertain you and your family for 3-5 hours. I've spent 5 hours in there, but you can make this attraction as long or as short as you want. However, it's a very interesting collection.
