North Pacific

This region offers a rich gamma of possibilities for those interested in practicing all types of water sports. Also, those with the sole interest of just sitting back and enjoying the warm tropical sun will be equally satisfied. In this region you will find famous beautiful beaches such as El Coco, Hermosa, Ocotal, Flamingo, Conchal, Grande, Tamarindo, Ostional, Sámara, y Carrillo.
This zone is located in the northeastern part of the province of Guanacaste and envelops the Papagayo Gulf. Here you will be able to experience first hand a great deal of the Costa Rican culture, as you will have the opportunity to enjoy "marimba" music, folkloric dances, the typical foods, and way of life of the cattle ranchers. Likewise, you will be able to visit the Orosí, Rincón de la Vieja, and Miravalles volcanoes.
This region brings protection to its great ecologically diverse forests and marine sectors, to the habitats typical to the zone, to the hydrographic watersheds and their scenic marvels by conserving the dry forests, the moist forests, the secondary forests, the secondary scrub lands ("tacotales"), the graze lands, the lagoons and the mangrove swamps.
