Aquatic Safari
Costa Rica has an enviable biodiversity that brings together people from all types of countries just to have a taste of its endless beauty. If you are looking for the perfect opportunity to see what the country has to offer, enjoy a water safari in the Bebedero River where you will see white-faced monkeys, iguanas, howler monkeys, and an amazing variety of birds will appear in the jungles of Palo Verde National Park.
Next stop on the tour is a visit to the amazing Llanos de Cortés waterfall, where you can relax under a tree or jump into a pristine natural pool. And finally, visit Liberia, a small city called “La Ciudad Blanca” (The White City), a place worth knowing for its role in Costa Rica’s history.

Volcanic Hike
A magical forest of exuberant vegetation opens the way to Rincón de la Vieja, a 600,000-year-old mountain massif, made up of nine volcanic chambers.
This is a tour for those who don’t mind getting their shoes a little dirty to watch the amazing boiling water pools, mud pots, geysers and mini volcanoes in the area.
Explore the different habitats around the volcano, where you can encounter creatures like the peccary, the Central American agouti, the tayra, armadillos, anteaters, the spider monkeys, more than 300 species of birds and hundreds of species of butterflies.

Surf’s Up
More than a sport, surfing has become a lifestyle and part of the local culture of Guanacaste. What better way to get to know this area than enjoying its seas?
Northern breaks like Potrero Grande (Ollie’s Point ) and Playa Naranjo (Witches Rock) have consistent waves throughout the year for the most seasoned surfers; while spots like Playa Tamarindo, Playa Guiones and Carrillo offer great swells for beginners and surf enthusiasts.
Sometimes all the body needs it’s a surfing session for a well-deserved reboot.

Guanacaste Essence
Did you know that Guanacaste is home to most of Costa Rican folklore? Ever wondered what Guanacaste means? Jump on a bus and experience “La Pampa Guanacasteca”, the cultural heritage of our people and the amazing traditions of this beautiful land.
The Guanacaste Essence Tour will make you travel back on time by visiting centennial houses, churches, crops and whole towns that continue living like our ancestors did. You will get to know the magical Hacienda El Viejo, the tradition of handicrafts in Guatil and Santa Cruz, the first city of Guanacaste.
