Discover the adventure of Costa Rica’s
western frontier with a healthy group of
friends on AUSun’s Península
de Nicoya Program. Our adventure will swing
you through the canopies of “Pochote”,
“Indio Desnudos” and “Espavel”
trees in the tropical dry forests of the
Pacific Canopy Tour. At an old hacienda,
a local cowboy will teach us the basics
for approaching, caring and gearing up our
horses for an overnight horseback riding
adventure. At night, we will camp out around
a campfire next to a river just like the
days of the Wild West! Back at the beach,
we will grab our boards and take on the
surf while learning to paddle and stand
in the best, uncrowded conditions. Our beachfront
campsite is located in front of a fantastic
secret surf spot and surrounded by a protected
Marine Sanctuary. If we get lucky, we may
spot some of the exotic species that nestle
in this reserve. Lastly, we will continue
on with an exciting sea kayaking adventure
camping on deserted beached and exploring
the pristine islands and coastlands of Costa
Rica before heading back to San Jose.

Guanacaste
and Nicoya Beaches and Nationals Parks
 
About
a third of the National Parks and Reserves of
Costa Rica is located within the region of Guanacaste,
where the majority of the tourist projects of
Costa Rica are being developed. In fact, the opening
of the International Airport of Liberia in 1995
has made the Guanacaste region very accessible.
The
coastal zone known as The Gold Coast, between
the Gulf of Parrot and The Peak of San Francisco,
south of Tamarindo Bay, includes a number of magnificent
beaches including Playa Real, Playa Minas and
Playa Grande.
The area presents hundreds of kilometers of uncontaminated
beaches and can be righteously be considered a
Paradise for the lovers of the Sun, of the Pacific,
and of course of the relaxation and gorgeous nature.
Yet,
Guanacaste has much more to offer than simply
relax and nature, as it presents the best opportunity
to practice such activities like sport fishing
in one of the areas with the richest fauna, rafting
down spectacular streams, wind surfing, surfing,
and scuba diving in dreamy depths, horseback riding
through beaches and forests, mountain climbing
or simply walking for hours in Tropical Dry Forest.
