A full-day Discovery Exclusive adventure takes you back in time to explore significant discoveries from the early inhabitants of the Santa Lucia region. Enjoy a one-hour scenic drive with an archaeologist guide who will impart the history of the region. Pause for a photo stop at "El Guriete," a dramatic viewpoint. Continue on to the Fortress of Ansite, a granite building studded with dark caves once used by the aboriginals as defensive dwellings and tombs. This is an active archaeological excavation site, and artifacts can be found on display at the nearby museum, Museo del Castillo de la Fortaleza. Walk the galleries of this ornate, castle-style building and view exhibits showcasing life in ancient times. Continue into the village for a Spanish tapas lunch. Stroll over to an authentic olive oil mill for a tour. Relax on your return drive.
