A roadside monument honoring Costa Rica’s traditional ox-cart drivers — a sculptural ox-cart and driver set against rolling Central Valley hills. Photographers can capture strong cultural silhouettes, textured bronze, and panoramic landscapes. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-light and long shadows; weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Easily reached by car from Atenas with informal roadside parking. No entry fee; respect local traffic and any commemorative events.
