Welcome to AWA
The first museum of water in Costa Rica, AWA is a tribute to the science and magic of water.
Water is life.
We are water. It is often said that humans are about 70% water, but this measured by weight. Consider this – of all the molecules in your body, 99% are H2O.
Join us on a magnificent journey to discover the molecules of life.

Science
The science of water includes conservation and energy, ecosystems and climate. One of the most startling properties of water is its liquid crystalline structure. Water forms clusters of vibrating molecules, with properties that are very different from bulk water. Get a new perspective.
-
Discovery
Costa Rica is powered by the forces of nature. Flowing water creates hydroelectricity and flowing lava yields geothermal power. These blessings have made this place the greenest nation on Earth. Connect with water in nature.
