The first was Juan Vázquez de Coronado; who was called "the true conqueror of Costa Rica" in 1562. And the most famous, we learned about him in high school.
Hernando Cortez is also other one.

There were no specific conquerers...for small, less powerful countries like Costa Rica, armies of about 1,000-10,000 conquered.

King George the III of the Romanian Empire once attempted to the throne of King Jose II of Costa Rica during the Dark Ages. He failed miserably, though, because his army was too small and they didn't plan the attack strategically. King Georges son, King George the IV did succeed in conquering Costa Rica. It was short lived, though.

The process of the conquest and de-structuring of our country's native societies and Indian Chieftains in the XVI and XVII centuries is immersed in what is known as the first and second stage of the conquest of the province of Costa Rica.

The first stage begins in 1522. with the expedition mounted by Andre's Niño and Gil Gonzalez Dávila, who did not venture into the interior of the province. Niño traveled through the Pacific seaboard from Burica to Caldera, later directing his steps towards Nicaragua. González Dávila, by land, and leading one hundred men traveled the country's South Eastern coast to the village of Abancari in the present canton of Puntarenas. He also visited Caldera and the Nicoya Peninsula, Diriá (in Santa Cruz) and also continued on to Nicaragua.

This first stage is characterized by brief contacts with the natives of the area. In 1524, Francisco de Cárdoba founded Villa Bruselas, in the East Coast of the Gulf of Nicoya. This was the first settlement founded by the Spaniards in Costa Rica.
