forest, fauna and history. It was a cattle ranch, which hosted in the XIX century
one of the most important battles in the Costa Rican history. The old house
called La Casona that took part in this battle was consumed by a fire and now
it has been rebuilt housing a museum. At this place you will learn important
facts the natural history of the area.
After visiting la Casona, we will have a hike through the trails
of this tropical forest with high chances to see the abundant wildlife.
For lunch we will drive to Liberia, the capital of the Guanacaste
