At a glance
Costa Rica vacations built around Guanacaste pair dry-season Pacific beaches and resorts with rainforest and volcano add-ons, all through the easy Liberia gateway. For a sun trip with more than a beach, Costa Rica is hard to beat, the Guanacaste coast has the resorts and the driest, sunniest weather, while a short drive inland brings cloud forest, the Arenal volcano, hanging bridges and wildlife. It is greener and more active than the classic Caribbean islands, ideal for travellers who want beach days and adventure in one trip. English is widely spoken and the Liberia airport makes the beaches easy to reach.
