• Ruinas de Ujarras - The Ruins of Ujarrás feature the remnants of a colonial church in Costa Rica. This lime and stone church was modest in size, with a clay tile roof. The Ruins of Ujarrás are the only remains of the first church built in Costa Rica during the 17th century, cherished as a relic from the colonial period. This site holds great significance as it was once a settlement of the Huetar indigenous people, abandoned in 1833.

The indigenous population of Ujarrás became extinct in the early 18th century, transforming it into a mestizo town. Florencio del Castillo, who served as President of the Cortes of Cádiz, was born here. Thanks to his efforts, Ujarrás was established as a town in 1813.

Due to several fever epidemics, the town of Ujarrás was deserted between 1832 and 1833, with its residents relocating to the area now known as Llanos de Santa Lucía, today Paraíso.
