We start the journey in our comfortable microvans from La Fortuna to Guanacaste, popularly called

the Chorotega Region of Costa Rica, where the dry tropical forest is located.

Along the way, we will border the Arenal Lake renowned as the largest lake in Costa Rica and

recognized as a RAMSAR site of great importance for hydroelectric power generation. We will make a

short stop in the town of Tilaran or Nuevo Arenal to use the restrooms and stretch before continuing

our journey.

Once we have reached the town of Cañas, we will visit the Los Pumas Rescue Center. This non-profit

organization aims to counteract the effects of hunting, deforestation, and the captivity of wild animals

in the Guanacaste area.

The idea of this visit is to learn about the importance of conservation in Costa Rica. We will have the

opportunity to see different species of animals that have been rescued and brought to the Rescue

Center with the intention of returning them to their natural habitat. Among the animal you may

observe a large quantity of wild cats, wild birds, and some other mammals such as monkeys and deer.

After learning about the conservation programs, management of wildlife, and environmental

education, we will head to the edge of the Corobici River for a delicious lunch in a restaurant with

amazing views of the Tenorio River and Volcano and its surrounding nature.

After lunch we will continue our journey towards the different destinations of Guanacaste such as

Liberia, Tamarindo, Conchal, Flamingo, El Coco, Papagayo, Hermosa, and other beaches of the region.
