Costa
Rica offers something for everyone - thrill seekers can fly through
forests on zip lines, peer into boiling volcanoes, surf oversized waves
and dive with dolphins and whales – all in the course of a normal day.
Then again, if you have some serious chilling to do, you can always lounge
in a hammock and enjoy the pure life or
PURA
VIDA.
Guanacaste is the northwest part of Costa Rica. It’s one of Costa Rica’s
seven provinces and the largest with 6,300 square miles, but also the
least populated. Located 175 miles north of the country’s capital of San
Jose, this province is known as the Dry Forest, with seemingly expansive
planes ideal for cattle ranching and tree farms. While the rest of the
country receives significant rainfall during the peak of the rainy season
(May – November), Guanacaste remains pleasant with rain often coming only
for an hour or two in the evening. Officially designated by the
government for tourism development, Liberia Airport became the country’s
second International airport in December 2002. In the last decade,
Guanacaste has become the most popular destination in Costa Rica because
of its natural wonders, climate, beaches and tourist facilities as well as
its folklore, music, color and traditional food.
