Strange Stone Spheres of Finca 6

Last week, we visited the World Heritage Site that contains pre-Columbian era stone spheres. Locally known as "Finca 6", there's a museum and outdoor walking paths that pass active archaeological sites, as well as unearthed and partially unearthed spheres, several in their original locations. The finca (farm) is located in Southern Costa Rica.

Although many of the spheres have previously been stolen, moved and/or vandalized, some have been discovered untouched, safely preserved below ground - covered for centuries by Rio Terraba river sediment that was left behind by retreating flood waters.
