Unlike any other Costa Rican frontier towns, Las Juntas de Abangares was founded when folks of an adventurous bent were stricken with the Costa Rican equivalent to the “gold fever” in the late 1800s. Besides immigrants from inside the territory, there were others struck by the gold fever who also came to Costa Rica as far as China and Europe. They made the long trip to the Abangares Region hoping to strike it rich and settled in the area. Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Ukrainian and Chinese last names are common nowadays in town and many different ethnic features can be observed in the faces of many locals.

The town of Las Juntas was built at the confluence of two rivers, thus its name: Las Juntas, which in Spanish mean the union of two things. The name Abangares comes from “Avancari,” an Indian chief who ruled the territory during the Spanish conquest. About 50 kilometres from the City of Esparza, Puntarenas, on the North Highway to Liberia, Guanacaste, there is the entrance to Las Juntas. On the left, there is a landmark truck stop and gas station known as La Irma, and on the right, there is the entrance to the town of Las Juntas, easily missed by most drivers. That right turn will take the traveler through green pastures and rolling hills where cows and horses placidly eat, lifting their heads only briefly to look at passing cars.
