Guanacaste Resorts & Tours

Playa Barrigona, a quiet sandy beach with forested hills on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Guanacaste is the dry northwest province of Costa Rica, on the Pacific coast near the border with Nicaragua. Most visitors stay along its beaches: the resort area of the Papagayo Peninsula, Playas del Coco, Playa Flamingo and the surf town of Tamarindo, with volcanoes, rivers and national parks such as Rincon de la Vieja a short drive inland.

The nearest airport is Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, roughly 30 minutes from the Papagayo Peninsula and about an hour and a quarter from Tamarindo.
