Guanacaste National Park, National park in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.
The park spans 32,512 hectares with elevations from 300 to 1659 meters, containing dry tropical forests, cloud forests, and grasslands.
Created in 1991 through Dr. Daniel Janzen's initiative to connect Santa Rosa National Park with cloud forests of Orosi and Cacao volcanoes.
The park integrates local communities through environmental programs and employs regional residents as park personnel to maintain conservation efforts.
Trails cross multiple ecosystems, from Pacific dry forests to cloud forests, with optimal visiting conditions during the December to April dry season.
The park forms a biological corridor enabling seasonal migrations of birds and insects between dry forests and evergreen cloud forests.
