Entertainment & Activities

In January the typical fiesta in Santa Cruz "The capital city of Santa Cruz is a typical rural and local town. Its inhabitants are a big group of farmers, fishermen, workers, and employees. The town is known for its cultural traditions and for its history. These traditions are the Easter week celebration and the Guanacaste’s bullfights. A wonderful time to visit Santa Cruz is during January when the city honors its patron saint Santo Cristo de Esquipulas, with dances, parties, and scrumptious local delicacies. People from all over Costa Rica attend this festival" (guanacastecostarica.com)
