Playa Hermosa beach

Here is another view of the beach at Playa Hermosa, taken from about the same spot as yesterday's photo, but looking up the beach in the opposite direction.

There are two towns in Costa Rica named Playa Hermosa, both on the Pacific. Visitors need to be careful if they make reservations to be sure that the hotel or tour operator is located in the same Playa Hermosa that they intend to visit.

I am showing photos of the Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste province in northwest Costa Rica. The other Playa Hermosa is in the central Pacific region of Puntarenas. It would be a big problem if someone flew into the airport in Liberia and drove to nearby Playa Hermosa, only to find that the condo or hotel where they have a reservation is in the other Playa Hermosa at least 4 hours away.

This week we are showing photos of Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, near the southern tip of Chile, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
