The Guayabo National Monument, in Turrialba will have from august on two indigenous palenques that will show tourists how the houses in this monument were from the years 700 BC to 1400 AC. These palenques or indigenous houses will be built based on the architectural characteristics described by arqueological studies that were elaborated by experts from the University of Costa Rica, the National Museum and the Ministry of Ambient, Energy and Telecommunications (MINAET).
“The palenques will have a circular base and a conical structure, they will be outside the protected arqueological area” –Explained arqueologist Rodolfo Tenorio, who studied this protected area for 13 years.
These shacks will be built with cultivated wood that shall be cured and will have a ceiling of plastic palms that imitate the leaves of the palms that were used in these houses. “Synthetic palms will be used because this way the ranches will last more. Because of this there won’t be any impact on the nearby ecosystems.” – Emphasized Rafael Viquez, the architect who’s in charge.
