It is of little surprise that Costa Rica makes many a MUST-VISIT TRAVEL list.
Why Guanacaste is a MUST SEE
The “Travel and Leisure Magazine” has reduced this MUST SEE DESTINATIONS to 50 total, with the Guanacaste province being one of the top destinations. And how could it not be? Guanacaste has it all! You hear Costa Rica and the first images that come to mind are sloths in tropical forests, volcanic hot springs & pristine beaches. The latter is where Guanacaste shines, hosting around 70 spectacular beaches, some well-visited with others considered “hidden paradises” where you feel like you are enjoying your own private beach. From beaches that instead of having sand are covered by shells, to snorkel & diving coves where you swim with starfishes and might even see dolphins & whales, to even having a chance to visit one of the main regions in the world for turtle spawning.
Why not opt for a ½ day catamaran tour to enjoy the vistas as the tropical breeze surrounds you or, if you prefer, you can spend a full day relaxing at the hot springs at the bubbling mud pools near Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. If you want a deep connection with nature, go for a hike in one of the many tropical dry forests & reserves or take a flat boat tour to observe monkeys, a variety of water birds, crocodiles and other reptiles – imagine Iguanas & Jesus Christ Lizards.
Guanacaste is also a cradle of Costa Rican culture and history, a center that honors and seeks to maintain its traditional roots and practices. In Guanacaste you can observe how pottery pieces are crafted in a pre-Colombian fashion or enjoy a typical dance troupe display the cultural dances important to this part of the country.
As you can see, this province seriously has it all! It is the perfect combination of beaches, savannah flat lands, dry tropical forests, volcanoes and culture. Furthermore, as a bonus you can fly direct, arriving into its own international airport, LIR (“Daniel Oduber”), located in the town of Liberia.
