Dream vacation in Costa Rica - the best reasons for the Guanacaste region

Part 2: National parks and nature reserves

The first thing that comes to mind for most Costa Rica travelers when imagining their vacation is the unique natural diversity that this small state in Central America has to offer. To see and explore this impressive variety of flora and fauna, the Guanacaste region offers the ideal starting point.


Guanacaste
is home to many different national parks that offer all the highlights of this tropical country. These include, for example, the Rincón de la Vieja Park, the Palo Verde National Park, the Santa Rosa National Park and, of course, the Guanacaste National Park, which is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on what you have in mind, you can explore different landscapes in these nature reserves. Would you like to explore one of Costa Rica's active volcanoes up close? Then head for the Rincón de la Vieja! Here you can not only marvel at an impressive volcano, but also see waterfalls and hike through a beautiful and lush green rainforest.


Those who prefer
the uniquely colorful and rare birds should head to Palo Verde National Park. Here you can spot a large number of different bird species, as well as iguanas and crocodiles in the rivers on a boat tour. But no matter which national park in Guanacaste you choose, one thing is certain: you will get to see Costa Rica's nature in all its glory. The Tenorio Volcano National Park with its turquoise blue Rio Celeste river and waterfall is a highlight.
