The dry Pacific: surf beaches, sunsets, a steaming volcano and cowboy country.

Guanacaste is Costa Rica’s dry north-west, with sunshine from December to April and a coast of surf beaches: Tamarindo is the lively one, Nosara the yoga-and-surf village in the forest. Inland is sabanero cowboy country around Liberia, and the Rincón de la Vieja volcano has hot springs, mud pools and waterfalls in its national park.
