Examples of historic carreta wheels

In 2005, El Boyeo y la Carreta (the traditions of ox-herding and making ox-carts) were given UNESCO World Heritage Status (Intangible Heritage), based on a candidacy case prepared by Bonilla.[2] The carreta (oxcart) is one of Costa Rica's most famous crafts, used to transport coffee beans, their wheels are a hybrid of Spanish spokes and Aztec disc design.[10] The UNESCO listing has led to a cultural revival, which has increased tourism.[11]

In 2018 Bonilla began a research project investigating the industrial heritage of Costa Rica for the first time.
