Best known for its sprawling Cordillera de Guanacaste mountain range volcanoes and paradise beaches, Guanacaste has made its presence known in Costa Rica and across the globe. However, it is a province of duality. The luxury resorts, beach vacations, and booming development alongside the culture of the Guanacastecos.
Blue zones refer to places in the world where people live longer than average lives and parts of Guanacaste’s Nicoya Peninsula have been recognized as one of them.
Many of the Nicoyan people often live to surpass 100 years of age, many in which don’t need to rely on medication. It is said that their healthy way of living is responsible for the centenarians living such a long-life expectancy
Costa Rica has two international airports and one of them is in the northwestern part of the country in Guanacaste. Liberia International Airport (also known as Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport) is just outside of Liberia.
The primary international airport of Juan Santamaria International Airport is located in the central valley for access to the other half of the country. Prior to the second airport, you would have to drive 4 to 5 hours to reach Guanacaste.
Named after former president Daniel Oduber Quirós, it was built in 1975 with hopes that it would help increase tourism in the Gulf of Papagayo. It now serves as a gateway to accessing the Gold Coast getting you to Playas del Coco in half an hour and just over an hour to the popular Tamarindo.
Playas del Coco Beach and Town The dark sand beach of Playas del Coco lies within the Gulf of Papagayo and stretches 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from point to point, is situated approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Liberia, the provincial capital of Guanacaste. It is easily accessible from the Liberia International Airport, making it a convenient destination for tourists. Playas del Coco is known for its beautiful crescent-shaped beach with grayish-brown sand. The water is relatively calm, making it a suitable spot for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. The beach area is surrounded by palm trees, providing shade and a picturesque setting.
Tamarindo is bordered by a number of breathtaking beaches which are mere minutes away from the downtown area, though all of the Costa Rica beach destinations along the Northern Pacific Coast are great spots to dip your toes in the water and go for a beachside stroll. Visitors can enjoy miles of soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, helping to give the region its reputation as a tropical getaway.

Rincon de la Vieja translates to “Corner of the Old Woman.” This name refers to a local legend. The legend tells of a princess whose lover was thrown into the volcano when her father learned of their affair.
According to legend, she went on living on the side of the volcano. There she gave birth to a son. She eventually threw him into the volcano to be with his father.
For the rest of her life, the princess went on living near the crater where she acquired healing powers. From then on, her home earned the name “Rincon de la Vieja.”
