My wife and I spent a week in the Guanacaste area in this beautiful and diverse country . The people were very friendly and efficient and had an enormous pride in their country and loved to show and tell us about it. There are a number of micro climates that contribute to the diversity of flora and fauna. Several live volcanoes add to the photographic opportunites and I tried to take advantage of that as often as possible. I have picked several of the most interesting (in my mind at least) photographs of our visit to display here. I plan to keep adding photos for the next week or so.
