The Area de Conservación Guanacaste is a network of protected areas and a World Heritage site in Guanacaste Province, in northwestern Costa Rica.

Geography

The area of the national parks combined totals 1470 square kilometers as of 2004. This reflects a long-term process of growth, which started with the establishment of Santa Rosa National Park in 1971. Over several decades, surrounding lands were purchased and nearby national parks connected to the growing protected area, so that the Guanacaste Conservation Area came to encompass a high diversity of tropical dry forest, rainforest, cloud forest, and marine habitats. The park contains about 2/3 of the endangered animals of Costa Rica. [1].

It formally became part of National System of Conservation Areas—SINAC in 1994, and a World Heritage site in 1999.

Elements

The World Heritage site includes:

  • Santa Rosa National Park
  • Guanacaste National Park
  • Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park
  • Junquillal Bay Wildlife Refuge
