A leisurely stroll could have easily ended in disease or even death. Venomous snakes, unpredictable peccaries and hungry felines, spiders, scorpions, or simply the raging waters of a mountain stream or lightning put to test any who ventured ashore. The land was alluring for those whose faith guided their perilous journey across one of the narrowest spots on the isthmus where Pacific and Atlantic meet.
The land bridge between the two American continents was a nexus for a great diversity of species. Their migrations north and south brought changes to both the fauna and the flora on each side and provided indigenous forms of a stunning variety. The isthmus and especially Costa Rica was - and remains - a region with a marvellous array of exotic plants and animals.

Costa Rica today not only presents you all her natural charms, her unspoiled beaches and her thickly forested mountains, but also offers a rainbow of modern life and culture: highly developed and treasured performing arts, such as theatre and dance; a thriving IT and computer industry; cutting-edge R&D centers for hi-tech space programs; well-developed social and health services, enriched with an enjoyably civilized blend of the modern Latin way of life, its unique folklore, its legacies and wonders. Guanacaste is the most visited province in Costa Rica for several reasons. |

Most important is the variety of attractions Guanacaste has to offer. From the extremely beautiful beaches of Papagayo or Santa Theresa/Mal Pais to the hot springs near and mud bathes at the Volcano Rincon de la Vieja. From the caves of Barra Honda National Park to the cloud forest at Monteverde. From the Palo Verde National Park with its wetlands and possibilities to observe crocodiles or a big variety of birds to the Santa Rosa National Park up North with Costa Ricas most important Historic Monument the Hacienda de Santa Rosa. There is a lot to see and to do. It is probably due to all of these attractions and the fact that it rains less in Guanacaste than elsewhere in Costa Rica that you will also find the most celebrated luxury hotels in Guanacaste especially on the Nicoya Peninsula. On the Penn you are able to play golf, do sports fishing, have your boat at a marina, spend some time at a casino – whatever your heart desires.
Now imagine you lived at a tranquil place without neighbours or anyone else bothering you, with a fresh climate where air conditioning is not really needed, with gorgeous sunset ocean views and in one of the most beautiful mansions Guanacaste has to offer, only 15 helicopter minutes away from all the above mentioned places!!
