Quepos is a small town located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Its history is intertwined with the country's broader historical developments. Here's an overview of Quepos' history:

• Pre-Colonial Era: Before the arrival of Spanish explorers, the Quepos area was inhabited by indigenous tribes belonging to the Boruca and Quepoa groups. These indigenous populations lived off the land, relying on fishing, farming, and hunting for their sustenance.
• Colonial Era: In the early 16th century, Spanish explorers began their conquest of the Americas, including the territory that is now Costa Rica.
