Wildlife
History
Guanacaste has a strong cattle-ranching (sabanero) tradition and was incorporated into Costa Rica in the 19th century; rivers like the Corobicí historically supported local transport and ranching communities.
Conservation
Stay on trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and use reef-safe sunscreen; supporting small guides helps fund local conservation and reduces pressure on sensitive riverbanks.
