"The Nicoya Peninsula is separated from the mainland of Costa Rica by the Gulf of Nicoya and the Tempisque estuary. From its northern base in the arid Guanacaste lowlands the peninsula extends 140 km to the south where the landscape progressively becomes more moist and hilly. Tourism and expat living are concentrated along the coast, while the interior is very sparsely populated. Cattle farming shapes much of the landscape against the backdrop of the steep-sided and densely forested interior mountain range."

"The most noted feature of the Peninsula de Nicoya is its beaches. Within the vast expanse of coastline are innumerable magnificent beaches with dramatic coastal scenery, and small villages, each with its own distinct charm. Water sports such as surfing define many of the local communities. Most areas have been discovered by surfers, as the Pacific side of Costa Rica presents one of the best stretches of surfing coastline in the world. For eco-tourists, the Nicoya Peninsula beckons with some spectacular natural phenomena, from turtle beaches, to subterranean cave systems, bird hotspots, and marine riches. They are protected in various nature reserves throughout the peninsula."

"Various eco systems provide habitats for numerous plant species and wildlife. Many animals are seasonal commuters and migrate between different eco systems. The coastal areas are therefore connected to the mountainous interior by various biological corridors."

"Costa Rica’s central Pacific zone experiences two extremely different seasons: the dry season begins in late November and until May the sun drenches the land. Many trees lose their leaves and cars driving on the rutted dirt roads kick up clouds of dust, covering roadside foliage with a dull, brown layer. The first rainfalls to relieve the dry season occur in May, initiating the “little summer” with intermittent rain showers."
