Costa Rica is not only about nature and adventure.

The Sanatorio Durán took place and a health rehab project began successfully as first world class hospital, giving a life opportunity to people affected by Tuberculosis. It was 1915, up in the mountains near the Irazu Volcano in Cartago.

When the epidemic was finally controlled and eradicated. The hospital was then used as a jail until 1973, when it closed completely due to volcanic eruptions by the Irazu Volcano, provoking serious damage to the structure.

Many stories have certainly happened here. The old abandoned buildings are open to visitors nowadays. Foundations are trying to rescue the ruins in order to save a place of national importance and legacy. Costa Rica is proud of the Sanatorio Durán, and it is well deserved to save it and restore it.

As a traveler, is definitely a place we must recommend. For the haunted stories, for the paranormal activities people talk about. For its history, its legacy, for the memory of people back in time. For many reasons that built a story deserved to be told.
