Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula
Once part of Nicaragua, the Guanacaste province chose to secede from Nicaragua to join Costa Rica in 1824. Famous for its unforgettable beaches, perfect climate and friendly residents, Guanacaste is Costa Rica?s most popular visitor destination.

Nicknamed the ?Gold Coast?, Guanacaste enjoys a drier climate than the rest of the country; the region experiences little precipitation even during the rainy season ? just one of the reasons why so many feel it is ?the place to be? in Costa Rica.

With an international airport in Liberia, Guanacaste?s main city, and direct flights now available from Atlanta to Liberia on Delta Airlines, visitors destined for Guanacaste can bypass San Jos? altogether ? and head straight for the beach.

The Nicoya Peninsula?s spectacular beaches and long Pacific coastline are the region?s star attractions. The country?s best dive sites are here, as well as ample opportunity for record-breaking sportfishing, surfing, snorkelling, swimming or just plain sun-worshipping. The area also offers excellent windsurfing and sailing.
A region rich in folklore, music, colour and delicious casados (typical dishes), Guanacaste offers up the bounty of the sea to its tables, including lobster, ceviche and whole pescaditos (fish).

The area?s national parks harbour some of the oldest formations in the country, such as the caverns of Barra Honda National Park, with their many stalactites and stalagmites, as well as important expanses of dry tropical forest. In addition, many of the region?s protected areas possess worldwide importance for protection of wildlife, including the several species of sea turtle that nest on the peninsula?s beaches.
