Hacienda El Chapernal

La Hacienda El Chapernal is a property of tropical dry forest located in Sardinal of Carrillo, Guanacaste's Province. It’s a 1100 hectares property (more than 2000 acres) of mountain land.

The property is very close to the best beaches of the Costa Rican North Pacific And inside the area of tourist influence of the Papgayo Gulf .

With this environmental criterion there have developed activities of recreation of agreement to the natural vocation of the area and of the environment Guanacasteco, always with the vision of supporting the customs and Costa Rican traditions. For example, we have activities like the colorful, traditional and rustic trapiche, where you will be able to enjoy the milling of the sugar cane and the elaboration of its products, The Comilona (Variety of Costa Rican Creole Meals and Meats) and many other attractions.

In 1992 immediately after the grants granted for the development of the Papagayo Gulf enormous tourist complexes developed in the whole Zone, which produced a considerable increase in the tourists' affluence. In the same year, Daniel Oduber inaugurates the airport, which facilitates and increases the arrive of tourists at Guanacaste's zone.

With this so great situation for the tourism, and seeing the scanty variety of supplies on the zone" The Chapernal ", name of the tourist complex, was conceived as a center of rural attractions, with the idea of offering an special and different alternative from the traditional Beach hotel occupation that abounds in the zone, without trying to compete directly with them but, to benefit mutually.

And that was how, on December 14, 1997, El Chapernal, Countryside Atractions Park or Center of Turistic Atractions was inaugurated.
