Liberia City, Provincial CapitalPopulation 35,847 About GuanacasteGuanacaste is one of the largest however is the least populated province of Costa Rica and is by far the driest province all year round. Guanacaste is primarily known for its cattle production and is also known for its spectacular Pacific coast beaches, a few of these are Playa del Coco, Flamingo Beach, Playa Potrero, Playa del Conchal and Tamarindo Beach. Because many movie stars and rich Americans have chosen to build beach houses and retirement homes here, Guanacaste in particular is experiencing quite a bit of new and classy development. While Cancún-style high-rise hotels are far from the norm, condos, luxury resorts, small boutique hotels and golf courses are springing up like gold-plated mushrooms. That's not to say you'll be towel-to-towel with thousands of strangers. On the contrary; you can still find long stretches of deserted sands. But maybe not for long. With the new international airport in Liberia running, it's possible to get here from North America without so much as a stopover in San José. With about 65 inches of rain a year, this region is by far the driest in the country and has been likened to west Texas. Guanacaste province sits on the west site (Pacific Ocean) and the border of Nicaragua. In addition to cattle ranches, Guanacaste boasts semiactive volcanoes, several lakes, and one of the last remnants of tropical dry forest left in Central America (dry forest once stretched all the way from Costa Rica up to the Mexican state of Chiapas). Sunny and dry with breeze all year round! More Information Wiki: Guanacaste Related Links |
