A small village can be reached in just a few minutes by car, while Nicoya, with good shopping facilities, a hospital, schools, etc., is about an hour and a half away. Year-round access (4WD during the rainy season), satellite TV, and cell phone reception are available. Electricity and telephone are nearby. The region is set to grow rapidly in the coming years, and prices will therefore rise significantly. The area is rural, picturesque Costa Rica. Cowboys still herd their cattle on horses, ox carts are a common means of transporting timber, and the people are still friendly and helpful. Two national parks are not far away: Barra Honda National Park, with its famous stalactite caves and dry forests, and Palo Verde National Park, which encompasses more than the entire estuary of the Rio Tempisque into the Gulf of Nicoya. It is home to countless animals such as waterfowl, crocodiles, and mangrove forests. Beautiful Pacific beaches are within easy reach. Samara is about an hour's drive away, and Tamarindo is also only an hour and a half away. The area around the Arenal Volcano, with its famous Lake Arenal, is just over an hour's drive away. Beaches: Many beaches such as Sámara, Coyote, Bejuco, San Miguel, Punta Islita, etc. can be reached relatively quickly. Samara has one of the most beautiful and fine sandy beaches in Costa Rica. A characteristic of Sámara is its beautiful offshore reef, which protects the bay and the beach from currents and invites divers to discover its tropical diversity and coral landscape. The beach is therefore very safe and suitable for recreation seekers of all ages, as well as for families with children. Guanacaste is the northwesternmost province of Costa Rica. The province covers an area of 10,141 km² and has a population of 264,238 (2000). The capital of the province is Liberia. Guanacaste borders the Pacific Ocean to the west. The northern border forms the border with Nicaragua. Its eastern neighbors are Alajuela, and Puntarenas to the southeast. Due to its comparatively dry climate, Guanacaste is the center of Costa Rican cattle ranching. The Golfo de Papagayo on the Pacific coast is a major tourism development area. Large hotels are increasingly being built here, primarily catering to North American package tourists. At the same time, a wide strip, from the western tip of Cape Santa Helena to the active volcanic peaks of Orosi and Rincón de la Vieja, has been protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1999 under the name Area de Conservación Guanacaste. This area consists primarily of the province's three national parks.
