Guanacaste’s celebrations are coming up, exciting dates for this side of the country; full of traditional activities, typical music and folklore dancing.
Up coming for the week of January 15th
we have lots of festivities in Santa Cruz, typical Costa Rican rural
town, where people gather to celebrate with typical music, folkloric
dancing and bullfighting to honor the Black Christ of Esquipulas.
Since 1926 it’s celebrated in commemoration of their catholic religion when Christ suffered before being crucified.
In the corners of the main streets of Santa Cruz marimbas
are located to brighten the atmosphere; while the bullfights are held
where many people come to a roundabout on the main square to challenge
the bulls.
During the week they also celebrate the famous horsemen
activity “tope” where hundreds of people from all over the country come
with their horses and typical costumes to the main streets of the city
and parade. During this activity many tourists rent horses and
participate in the festival.
Dancing in the park to the
sound of marimba music is another traditional activity, among local
meals prepared as part of the celebration including the “rosquillas”,
sweet “tamal” and coyol wine.
Santa Cruz is a beautiful
town filled with friendly and openhearted people who are always open to
help tourists when needed. The town is also close to some of the most
popular beaches in Costa Rica, which they have buses travelling back and
forth almost each hour.
Between the last week of February and early March the “Fiestas Cívicas” of Liberia are held where folklore and traditions are celebrated with music, rides and concerts throughout Liberia.
The
city of Liberia is located on the plains of the province of Guanacaste.
It has a warm but dry climate characteristic of the area. Its name
comes from the Latin "liber" meaning free and independent.
At just 13 miles away from Liberia and 72 from Santa Cruz, in the surroundings of the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin is one of the best places to stay in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Now
for these celebration dates, you can also enjoy great Costa Rica travel
deals at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin and enjoy Guanacaste’s festivities.
Costa
Rica's love for “fiesta” is contagious; taste the food, make friends,
enjoy traditions and party with the ticos are musts you can’t miss
during these dates in Guanacaste, activities you can enjoy at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin.
