  2. Well, that answer is amazing! I've been here for 14 years, and she essentially summarized it all.  Visit the national parks because they are truly beautiful.  Waterfalls, rain forests, CLOUD forests, beaches...Guanacaste has got it all.  You can hike on your own or with a tour guide, or you can do fourwheeler tours, horseback riding tours, surf trips, etc.  There are also many canopy tours (zip lines) that are just completly thrilling. I've done two of them myself and I was left speechless.  Also, I saw she mentioned Arenal.  Arenal is so amazing and breath taking, as well as being the only remaining active vulcano in the country (don't worry, you'll be fine). Last it erupted was actually in 1996, but everything's fine.  It't a beautiful provice all in all, and maybe you can just sort of "wing it" while here, and pick the tour according to your mood! I've done that before and it's turned out to be a blast!

    Hope you have a great and safe trip!
