Costa Rica is built on adventure. Hidden away in the northwestern corner of Costa Rica's Pacific coast, the province of Guanacaste is one of the country's jewels. Cooled by gentle Pacific breezes, its tropical climate is pleasant year-round, maintaining an average air temperature of 80 degrees. Its rich biological reserves and national parks make it a prime ecological destination, while its beaches and elegant resorts appeal to leisure travelers. Here you can drive to the very edge of a volcanic crater, hike through the heart of a mountain jungle and explore a cherished rainforest all in the same day. Fishing and snorkeling are popular activities, and with its unforgettable white sand beaches and remarkable salt and pepper shores, the Guanacaste region is a beach lover's paradise.


Costa Rica has become a mecca for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty and peacefulness of nature. With more of its land protected in natural parks, biological preserves and wildlife sanctuaries than any other nation on earth, excursions are a must.
