Home base was at a resort on the Papagayo peninsula right on the Gulf of Papagayo in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The resort was right on the beach so every other day we set out from there to three very different areas that included a dry forest, transitional and tropical rain forest. At the time of our visit, many resorts were just getting started. Blue Bay Village Papagayo was one of three resorts in our area but we imagine it has become quite touristy since that time.
