Santa Rosa National Park is located 22 miles North of Liberia, Guanacaste. Four miles from the entrance, visitors will find the Casona Santa Rosa Historical Museum, a camping area and the administration of the Guanacaste Conservation Area (ACG).
The Casona was declared a National Monument in 1966, and in 1971, along with the surrounding areas, was named a National Park. The Santa Rosa Hacienda finds itself as an important part of the country's history. In March, 1856, the most important battle against American invaders, called filibusters, took place.
Several beaches are part of this national park. Naranjo Beach,7.5 miles away from the administrative area, is surrounded by mangroves. The beache can be accessed on a four wheel drive vehicle during the dry season, and hiking during the rainy season.
In the same direction of Naranjo beach, 10.5 miles from the administration area, is Nancite beach. This is one of the most important nesting sites on Central America's Pacific coast for the Olive Ridley Turtle. Given the ecological characteristics, access to Nancite is restricted. Other beautiful beaches are White Beach, 10.5 miles from the camping area. Santa Elena Bay and El Hachal Bay, both 3 miles from the camping area.
Santa Rosa preserves the most important portion of Dry Forest protected in Central America. High temperatures and a long dry season characterize this forest, that transforms itself during the rainy season.
