The Chorotega Ceramic Ecomuseum was established in 1992 as an idea from a group of neighbor’s to rescue and perpetuate the art and culture of our Chorotegas ancestors. The building construction started in 2003 thanks to the economic and human support of some institutions, both national and international.
On May 26th 2007 was the inauguration of the first phase of the museum, which begins with a temporary craftsmen photographs exhibit, Chorotegas indigenous pre-Columbian replicas developed by our expert craftsmen, contemporary designs and from the Chorotega Farm. In addition the museum gives visitors a talk about the history and a demonstration of the ceramic elaboration process.
Experience the past in the present by visiting the Chorotega Ceramic Ecomuseum in our community that is an open museum where the greatest treasures are their people, their history, art and the environment they inhabit. The landscape and culture are windows that invite visitors to learn, to feel, to think and participate in different activities:
* Temporary photographs exhibition.
* Talks about the history of our community.
* Demonstration of the production of the Chorotega ceramic.
* Walks to the sites of materials extraction, where you will also observe the scenic and natural beauty that surrounds us.
The idea is that the entire community is a museum since the concept of Ecomuseum has three aspects: land, community and heritage. The museum is located in San Vicente, a Costa Rican community, which is located 17 km southeast of Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, or 20 km northeast of Nicoya. From Santa Cruz, the road is paved until Guatil (which is 2 km upstream of San Vicente). The Nicoya street to San Vicente is ballast, but it is accessible for any type of vehicle.
Address: 17 km southeast of Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, or 20 km northeast of Nicoya, district: San Antonio, canton: Nicoya, province: Guanacaste. Zone postal code: 50203.
