Guanacaste: beaches, culture, and nature to explore
After a few days of work, visitors can extend their stay and discover this region of Costa Rica, with good connections to the center of the country
Guanacaste, on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, stretches across 5,921 square miles and over 400 miles of coastline, from the Nicaraguan border to the Bongo River estuary. Its warm climate, natural landscapes, and biodiversity make the region an ideal destination for those looking to combine work and leisure.
The area enjoys significant hotel development and receives support from the Gulf of Papagayo Tourism Development Center. It is also connected to the rest of the country via highways linking its tourist and commercial centers, such as Liberia, Santa Cruz, and Nicoya, with destinations of interest in central Costa Rica. Daniel Oduber International Airport facilitates the arrival of charter and commercial flights from the United States.
After a few days of work, visitors can enjoy the beaches, many of which have Blue Flag certification, such as Playa Blanca, Conchal, del Coco, Samara, and Carrillo, ideal for swimming, surfing, hiking, or exploring mangroves. They can also explore navigable rivers like the Tempisque and Corobicí, and visit cultural sites like Liberia, the Farallón National Monument, or the Abangares Mines Ecomuseum.
With this combination of nature, culture, and great connections, Guanacaste is positioned as a bleisure destination, allowing you to extend your stay after work to explore and enjoy everything the region has to offer.
