Guanacaste

Guanacaste has served as a northwestern frontier within Costa Rica since the nineteenth century. Its identity is closely tied to the former Partido de Nicoya, whose incorporation into Costa Rica is commemorated each 25 July with the Annexation of Nicoya holiday. The province stretches from the Pacific coast and Nicoya Peninsula into the Tempisque River basin and the volcanic highlands around Rincón de la Vieja. A pronounced dry season sets it apart from much of the country, supporting tropical dry forest and cattle-ranching traditions; Liberia is its principal city. Santa Rosa National Park protects extensive dry forest near the northwestern coast.
