About Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Guanacaste, a province in northwestern Costa Rica, borders the Pacific Ocean and is recognized for its biodiversity, breathtaking landscape and sandy beaches. With more than 400 miles of coastline, there are ample opportunities for water sports like surfing, snorkeling, fishing or simply relaxing on a beach. Travelers can enjoy the natural beauty, authenticity and laid-back atmosphere of this top-destination. Guanacaste was originally inhabited by the Chorotega Indians, until Spanish settlers arrived at the beginning of the 16th century, naming the land Costa Rica, for “rich coast.”
The most sparsely populated province of Costa Rica, Guanacaste offers locals and vacationers a microcosm of Costa Rica’s incredible diversity.
Santa Rosa National Park provides a rare glimpse into an uncommonly beautiful dry tropical forest with more than 250 species of birds.
The luxurious Papagayo Peninsula, with its shining array of secluded resorts and romantic hideaways, provides an ideal playground for nature lovers and ecotourists.
From golf with a view to water sports of all kinds, this Central American Garden of Eden reminds visitors of a long-ago time when the earth was covered in arboreal splendor and colorful wildlife.
With its majestic waterfalls and pink, black and white sand beaches, Costa Rica’s sublime Guanacaste region remains truly out of this world.
Guanacaste is usually warm and dry, especially from mid-December through April during Costa Rica’s dry season, which is the most popular time to visit. January is a great month to visit, after the rains have ended but while the rainforests are still lush and the beaches warm and sunny.
The Nicoya Peninsula boasts lovely weather, although the roads can occasionally become impassable during the rainy season from April to November. You can always take a short ferry ride from Puntarenas to Paquera.
