Humans have inhabited the forests of Costa Rica for over 10,000 years. For thousand of years there were approximately 20 different Tribes. Each tribe was under the rule of one chief. Archeologists uncovered the only ruins from these people in Costa Rica about 40 miles from San Jose. The ancient city Guayabo is thought to be a ceremonial site that contains paved roads and decorative gold. Though not everything is known about these ancient people some are still trying to understand and hoping they find answers rather than more questions.
