Typical backroad in Costa Rica. We drove the backroads so we could add these to the Costa Rica GPS map for your journey through Costa Rica. Satellite photos will not allow one to digitize these roads. This is one of the reason why the Costa Rica GPS map by GPSTravelMaps.com is very accurate - we ground test and collect data for GPSTravelMap.com GPS maps.

According to NicaTour.net, "During the pre-Columbian age, Masaya Volcano was on object of veneration by the indigenous people. They believed the eruptions were signs of anger from the Gods and to appease them they offered sacrifices, which ofter included small children and maidens. During the Conquest, the Spaniards baptized the active Volcano "LA BOCA DEL INFIERNO" or "THE MOUTH OF HELL". They then planted a cross, "LA CRUZ DE BOBADILLA" (named after Father Francisco Bobadilla). It was placed on the crater lip in the 16th century in order to exorcise the Devil".
