Finca 6 and Boruca Masks

Arriving at Finca 6 in April 2026

Jennifer trying her hand at excavating!

A grinding stone from the Caribbean side, 350-1000 AD

Tripods, typically used in funerals, from Guanacaste, 800-1350 AD

Maria was really excited to see this timeline with familiar Costa Rican terms

So cool to see the danta represented in history

Pre-Columbian jaguar stone sculpture

Jennifer and Baylee walking under the banana railway

Our group with one lone sphere, unfortunately many were removed from Costa Rica in the past

The mounds where buildings once were

Carvings in the bridge

Alignment of spheres, representing the planets

Some of the spheres were repaired to preserve their place in history

All of us found our favorite sphere for this selfie

Maria and Neil hoping to soak up some of the sphere's power

The collection of spheres, look different depending on where you stand

Not just stone spheres at this site

Maria braved the trails of leaf cutter ants to take this fun photo

Stopped on tribal land to wrap up our adventure

Got our own piece of Costa Rican history

Finca 6 is a designated historic site near the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. There you will find a collection of stone spheres that vary in size and it's not really known how they were made. We brought Maria's cousins, Jennifer and Baylee, there during their trip here.
