Travel to Guanacaste

Guanacaste, the common tropical American tree Enterolobium cyclocarpum.
Guanacaste is a province of Costa Rica located in the northwestern part of the country, along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. To the north it borders Nicaragua. To the east is the Alajuela Province, and to the southeast is the Puntarenas Province. It is the most sparsely populated of all the provinces of Costa Rica. The province covers an area of 10,141 km² (3,915 sq mi).
As mentioned, the Liberia airport has opened up access to Guanacaste. Previously, travelers had to travel 5 hours from San Jose by road over rutted and unpaved roads. Now, several cities in the U.S. and Canada have direct flights to Liberia, and from there the beach destinations are easily reachable.
As this region is covered by dry tropical forest, this makes it quite popular among tourists looking to escape the humidity found in most of Central America. There are many all inclusive resorts in this area, served by one of Costa Rica's two international airports in Liberia.
