Guanacaste is less tropical, humid, and lush than the rest of the country. Its plains and dry forests sometimes remind African savanna landscapes. Inland you can see the savanna, and local cowboys on their horses while driving their flocks, which are authentic figures of the popular culture of this destination. From the hotel, you can do several excursions that you can not lose, like the visit to the National Park Rincon de la Vieja, the Safari Park, or the capital of Guanacaste: Liberia.
