Guanacaste represents Costa Rica's second-largest province but has fortunately remained the least populated. The result is a calm, peaceful ambience under thrilling volcanoes. Arenal volcano, dominating the province of Alajuela, draws the adventurous and eco-tourists to gasp in awe at this no-longer active powerhouse. A lake in what once was the volcano's caldera is an idyllic spot to watch the sun set in a local cafe. Luxury tour operators can arrange daytrips from Arenal that include the a tour of pampas, Spanish for "prairie," where you can embark on a photo safari. 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. Divers and snorkeling enthusiasts from around the world flock to these islands for their concentration of manta ray among many undersea wonders. After a long day of adventuring, nothing beats a slow tan on some of the world top secluded beaches. 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.

The magical paradise of Costa Rica, especially the Peninsula Papagayo, remains the world's top secluded natural sanctuary with abundant chances to experience eco-adventure by land or by sea. Isn't it time you stopped listening to stories of Costa Rica, and start making some of your own?
