A province for the active soul, Guanacaste draws visitors with its stunning shoreline, incredible bird watching, great horse-riding, excellent surfing, superb snorkelling and wonderful mountain lake windsurfing.

Forming the eastern borders of Guanacaste is a chain of volcanoes that stretch out to join the Cordillera de Guanacaste and Cordillera de Tilaran mountain ranges.

Offering some great hiking, you can walk to the summit of a number of volcanoes, including to the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano Area.

Once at the top you can enjoy some really breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Passing through lovely lush dense forests, which play host to a fabulous array of exotic plant and wildlife, you may be lucky enough to some of the rare and endangered animals and birds that live here, including jaguars and tapirs.

This river in turns nurtures the province before emptying itself into the Golfo de Nicoya.
