Soak in the visuals across the unique mix of grassy savannahs, seemingly endless cattle ranches, and lowland tropical dry forest, all beneath the iconic volcanic mountain ranges in the background.

For a change of pace, try a luxury sailing adventure through the Catalina Islands off Guanacaste.

Guanacaste offers up shores stretching as long as 99 miles, from the border of Nicaraguan border to the shoals of the Nicoya Peninsula. It's not all for you though. Many beaches are protected breeding grounds for the majesty of the ocean and a symbol of Costa Rica's commitment to future generations -- the noble leatherback sea turtle.
