When traveling
through Guanacaste, most assuredly one aspect that will
stay with you is the sun. It's almost as if the sun
is closer to you here. It bathes everything with a golden
hue and gilds the surrounding landscape. Great expanses
of golden grasses sway elegantly in the wind while stunted,
gnarled guanacaste trees dot the low hills. The landscape
is both dramatic and memorable for any visitor traversing
this the largest region of Costa Rica.
The Guanacaste
region is bordered by two mountain ranges. The Cordillera
de Tilarán and the Cordillera de Guanacaste provide
splendid craggy backdrops to some of the country's most
beautiful countryside. The perfect time to visit Guanacaste
is, luckily enough, year around. No matter if you visit
during the dry season or during the wet season, both
provide spectacular advantages. The dry season affords
the serious sun lover with plenty of tanning lime, while
the wet season brings the trees into bloom with explosions
of colors and fragrances. The rolling hills become carpeted
in brilliant green.
Known
for its cattle ranches, travelers will see many homes
surrounded by green pastures and grazing cows. Many
of these are have been handed down through the generations
of Guanacaste natives.
The beautiful
beaches of Guanacaste offer a variety of comfortable accomodations
from which you will enjoy various activities such as
snorkeling, sunset sailing, sportfishing or just relaxing.
