Gulf of Papagayo Essentials

The Gulf of Papagayo on Costa Rica's northwest coast centers around the UNESCO-listed Area de Conservación Guanacaste, a massive network of protected dry forests and marine habitats. This collection features Playa Conchal, notable for its unique shoreline composed of crushed white shells, and Playas del Coco, the region's oldest beach community. Natural highlights include the Iguanita Wildlife Refuge and Mirador Santa Rosa, which offers panoramic views over the historic Santa Rosa National Park and its diverse ecosystems.
