Location                              Guanacaste, North Pacific Coast of Costa Rica

 A mere 20 minutes from Liberia’s new international airport, Peninsula Papagayo teems, as it has for centuries, with boundless beauty. Formed by volcanic activity and sculpted by wind, rain and sun, this jagged pair of peninsulas reaches into the warm waters of Bahía Culebra, further protected by the deep blue lap of the Pacific. The expanse and diversity of unspoiled land is astonishing: 15 miles of coastline, 14 miles of bluff edges, 31 separate beaches of white, coral, gray and black sands. Mother Nature must consider Peninsula Papagayo one of her finest hours. Those who embark on this remarkable journey will be among the first to explore the splendor of this vast, unbridled wilderness…to uncover the wonders of a 2,300-acre native sanctuary.
