It's Summer! Why Not Vacation Outdoors in Costa Rica?

[Shannon Farley]

It’s summer - time to be outside enjoying everything nature has to offer! Time for a vacation where you can disconnect in nature and slow down from the fast pace of daily life.

“Nature offers one of the most reliable boosts to your mental and physical well-being,” reports Business Insider.

“Breathe in the beauty and remember that by keeping our planet healthy, we keep ourselves healthy too,” urges the United Nations in this month’s World Environment Day 2017 theme of "Connecting People to Nature."

In the land of stunning scenery, sunshine and smiles in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, being on vacation outside in breathtaking nature is easy. Costa Ricans work hard to preserve their nature, protecting more than 25 percent of the country’s territory in national parks and private reserves.

For some of the best nature tours in Guanacaste by the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, head to eco-adventure Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin. Swim in beautiful waterfall pools, soak in natural volcanic hot springs, go horseback riding through unique dry tropical forest, and see exotic wildlife. The forest around Hacienda Guachipelin and the western side of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano forms an interesting ecosystem for different kinds of animals and plants than you see elsewhere in Costa Rica.

An Enchanting Hotel Costa Rica, Hacienda Guachipelin has plenty of adrenaline-charged adventure tours as well, and all of them outside in spectacular nature.

Set on a 137-year-old, traditional Guanacaste ranch, Hacienda Guachipelin provides a incredible experience of Costa Rica’s rich ranching and cowboy traditions. And they do it while being environmentally friendly and committed to sustainability and conservation.

So you can be outdoors in nature on vacation and be kind to the planet at the same time.
