Papagayo Region Introduction
Introduction to Papagayo Costa Rica
Let me give you a little background on our area. Playa Hermosa is part of a group of beaches that make up what is known as the Golfo de Papagayo: Playa Ocotal, Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. We are located in Guanacaste province on the NW Pacific coast region of the country – known as the ‘Gold Coast’. Costa Rica is very reminiscent of Hawaii in the 60s and 70s with active volcanoes, spectacular beaches, and great climate. Costa Rica is recognized worldwide for its biodiversity, housing over 5% of the world’s plant and animal species, has no army and prides itself on good education and healthcare systems.
Although tourists have been coming here for years, just recently investors from all over the globe are increasingly attracted to the peaceful lifestyle and excellent infrastructure that Costa Rica has to offer. Over the last few years, Guanacaste has been the focus of that investment, and most recently, the Gulf of Papagayo.
