Costa Rica has long been the region’s most popular destination for travellers from the USA. But if you’ve noticed your Instagram feed increasingly full of friends geo-tagging Costa Rica and returning home with tales of its tropical climate, endless coastlines, extraordinary encounters with wildlife and epic adventures, you’re not alone.

National parks stand out for having "unique features of national or international interest".
In addition, they "must include representative samples of ecosystems of national significance, show little evidence of human activity, offer important attractions for visitors, and have the capacity for recreational and educational use in a controlled manner," according to SINAC.

Tamarindo, Costa Rica, began as a modest fishing community but is now one of the most visited places in the Guanacaste province. A typical day in Tamarindo will see about 500 people strolling its streets. Nonetheless, during the peak tourist season, the population might rise to almost 5,000.

As part of the tradition of Tamarindo DIRIA we celebrate in a cultural way the Annexation of Guanacaste to Costa Rica Day.
