Puriscal

Santiago de Puriscal, called Puriscal by locals, was once part of the Western Huetar Kingdom, a Costa Rican indigenous group. The area was an important crossroads, used by the Huetar as a central meeting ground and resting place. Later, after Spanish conquest, the small village continued its geographical roll, serving as a stopping point on the central trade route between Costa Rican and Panama.
