Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The name comes from the Indian word quahnacaztlan, meaning "the place near the ear trees". It is one of the largest, least populated and sunniest of Costa Rica’s provinces. Known for its cattle production and for its spectacular Pacific coast beaches, the area boasts semi-active volcanoes, several picturesque lakes, and one of the last remnants of a tropical dry forest left in Central America. World-class championship golf courses, cultural shows and a wide variety of ecotourism activities make Guanacaste an outdoor lover’s paradise.

The region is serviced by the country’s second international airport, Daniel Oduber (LIR). North Guanacaste’s North Pacific region is a land of wind-blown savannas, volcanic peaks, and unspoiled beaches just waiting to be discovered. Sunny and warm year round, its friendly people invite you to experience its culture and traditions while embarking on exciting visits to beaches, national parks, wildlife refuges and soothing hot springs. The diversity of flora and fauna will astound you, its people and traditions will beguile you and its variety of attractions and wildlife will have you coming back for more.

As if the spectacular landscapes aren’t enough, relax in elegant boutique hotels or all-inclusive resorts while you savor world-class gourmet cuisine. From horseback riding and bird watching to sport fishing, deep sea diving and more, Northern Guanacaste has something for everyone!
