Carlos Duran Sanatorium

Posted on November 19, 2024July 30, 2024 by Ultimate Guide

About: This old abandoned sanatorium has a lot of history, but unfortunately was not preserved in the best way. There is graffiti almost everywhere, and there is not a lot of information on site. There are no guided tours. You can walk the grounds and most of the rooms in the different buildings. There is a cafe where you can buy food, or you can bring your own food. There are places outside the sanatorium that sell food as well.

Province: Cartago

Starting from: Downtown Cartago

Time to reach from starting location: 23 minutes

Time needed for activity: 2 hours

Kid friendly: Yes

Wheelchair accessible: Yes

What to wear and bring: Comfortable clothes, walking or hiking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, sunglasses, umbrella, poncho or rain jacket, camera, backpack, water, snacks, pack lunch

Tips: It would be best to read some information and stories online about the sanatorium before visiting or while you are there to understand the history. Being a sanatorium, a lot of the stories are focused on the paranormal. Bring your own food to enjoy a picnic on the grounds.
