a window into rural Guanacaste and the Costa Rican essence and identity. The companies involved
in the sector operate with a proven commitment to excellence.
Guanacaste, with its 10,140.71 km2, is Costa Rica’s second-largest province. Its wide and varied relief includes broad plains, imposing volcanoes, plateaus,
canyons, river valleys, fast-moving rivers and a coastline full of twists and turns, dotted with gulfs, bays, inlets, peninsulas, points, capes, cliffs, estuaries and islands where tourists from Costa Rican and abroad can fully enjoy its splendid beaches, many of which have earned the Blue Flag.
This area of northern Guanacaste manages to link the beauty of nature with the culture and customs of its rural settings (agriculture, fishing, nature, traditional cuisine and cultural heritage). Rural life in Guanacaste is yours to discover, with its sabaneros, its music and dances to the sound of the marimba, its exquisite traditional food and drinks, bull riding, its Chorotega pottery, its poetry in bombas and retahílas. You can also experience the lifestyle of Costa Rican artisanal fishermen.
See diverse environments full of peace, comfort, coexistence with our customs and traditions, immersed in a wonderful, diverse natural landscape that give the inhabitants of Guanacaste an identity that is unlike any other in Costa Rica or the world.
