Today we commemorate 200 years of the voluntary decision made by the people of Nicoya to join Costa Rica on July 25, 1824.

The annexation of Nicoya 200 years ago was more than a mere expansion of territory. It was a decision that profoundly shaped the Costa Rica we know today – geographically, economically, culturally, and politically.

We celebrate the integration of Nicoya has added depth and diversity to Costa Rican identity. Here at Palo Verde Boat Tours we embrace and represent the indigenous heritage, culture, food, recipes, ways of living and wild nature in one single place. !Que viva guanacaste!
