Guanacaste Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Costa Rican Love and Relationship Wisdom

The cuteness meter is off the charts, so here's a valuable relationship hack from a local Costa Rican! We met in a local eatery, and he shared how they hide their enemies' bodies in his country. Piranhas, crocodiles, and the local fauna form the basis of strong marriages. Forget the cliché "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." And if it's through his stomach, it's not men 😉 I had to tone down the post's vanilla level! But here we are, hugging under the waterfall at @fscostarica.

Costa Rica: Where Nature Rules Supreme

"Apparently, it's some kind of professional deformation - on the 8th day in Mexico, I got bored and it felt too 'routine,' so I suggested flying to a nearby country. In just about two hours of flight, we were in Costa Rica. It's almost like taking a bus ride, so without much thought, we were heading to the airport. Remember the movie 'Jurassic Park' and the breathtaking nature in it? Well, it's just like that here, but instead of dinosaurs, you can befriend anteaters, Central American deer, or white-faced capuchins! And the best part is, you don't have to go far because the @fscostarica hotel is located within a national park, protecting animals and ensuring they feel at home here. So, be prepared for your 'aww' meter to go off the charts because seeing animals in their natural habitat is the most unforgettable experience you can have while traveling!"

Endless Adventures at Four Seasons Costa Rica

"If you think we're just chilling on our trips, you're mistaken because... we barely have time for anything! In the morning, it's golf and a hike on a wild trail. At lunch, we kayak, then sunset yoga and rum tasting. And we still need to swim in the pool and take photos! That's the tough job I have 😉 @fscostarica is located on an entire peninsula, and there are dozens of activities available for guests for free. You won't get bored here, even for a month. And we're 9 hours behind Moscow, so I'm posting this late at night before bedtime, knowing it's morning for you! So, good Monday morning to everyone!"

Tamarindo Beach

#beachlife Tamarindo in Costa Rica's Guanacaste Province is a coastal haven blending natural beauty and adventure seamlessly. Playa Tamarindo and Playa Langosta offer surfers paradise with stunning Pacific views. The northern gem, Playa Grande, hosts nesting leatherback turtles within Las Baulas National Marine Park, showcasing the marvels of nature. Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge's mangrove estuary is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, featuring howler monkeys and crocodiles against a backdrop of the Pacific. Tamarindo is a captivating destination, where every moment, from beach strolls to wildlife encounters, feels like a chapter in a tropical paradise story. A must-visit for those seeking Costa Rican charm and ecological diversity.

Carrillo Beach

#beachlife Just minutes from Playa Samara (with its restaurants, shopping and amenities), and located next to Punta Indio. Playa Carrillo offers a secluded, perfect, unoccupied beach experience - no frills, no amenities (so bring refreshments and snacks). As it’s just a quick hop from the awesome Playa Samara, though, a day at Playa Carrillo could easily be book-ended and/or punctuated by quick trips over for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The drive from Samara to Carrillo is scenic, winding, beautiful, with readily available parking right off the road. The area is very well-maintained, and - conveniently - you can camp (if that’s your predilection) at Mora Campground. Similar to Playa Samara, you’ll find a long, deep, fine sand beach perfect for families, or a relaxing swim, though we found the surf to be far less rambunctious than at Playa Samara. This place is perfect, a must visit!

Himalayas, the “Sacred Mountain”

Incredibly captured by @aytekcetinphotography. The Himalayas are the third largest glaciers in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic. The Himalayas cover and pass through the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal. They cover almost 75% of Nepal. The Himalayas are known for their stunning natural beauty, with snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and deep valleys. The range is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species such as the snow leopard, Himalayan black bear, and red panda.

Staying at the Palace Hotel of Bussaco

What could be better than visiting awe-inspiring European palaces? Staying in one, of course! 🏰 Built between 1888 and 1907, the Palace Hotel of Bussaco was originally intended as a summer residence for the King of Portugal, Carlos I. Nowadays, this hotel offers the unique experience of staying in a royal palace 😍

Paradise

peru is a country with everything! by everything i mean literally everything. if you like the cityscape, head to Lima with some of the best gastronomic scenes. most tourists flock to Cusco, an ancient Inca city with historical significance. it is a city with moderately high elevation and around the city the number of attractions is crazy. soo many beautiful trails such as rainbow mountain

When Martian Logic Kicks In

I've always had Martian logic. In my childhood, I wanted to work as a bouncer in a nightclub, fight every day, and tell people what to wear. So, it's no surprise that I reconciled with my ex after 6 years. But I'm cautious. I took him to Costa Rica. It's not the Maldives here. There are crocodiles and piranhas. So, in case of disagreements, I always had an ace up my sleeve. But at @andazpapagayo, I only saw a little monkey and a couple of tropical birds. They probably won't work as a method of intimidation, but I still enjoyed it.
