In Guanacaste, breathtaking natural beauty waits around every corner—from picture-perfect beaches to hidden jungle waterfalls. There’s good reason this remote part of Costa Rica, which lies on the country’s western shore, is overflowing with wild allures. Over millennia, eruptions from the Arenal Volcano created hyper-rich soil that nurtured a unique tropical dry forest. More than 30 rivers wind their way through this swath of green, pumping nutrients into the surrounding waters, which in turn are teeming with healthy, vibrant reefs.
