Bagaces Guanacaste
Bagaces is the fourth canton in the province of Guanacaste Costa Rica. It covers an area of 1,273.49 km².
This small town is about 22km northwest of Cañas on the Interamericana, and is actually the headquarters of the Area de Conservación Tempisque which in conjunction with Minae, administers Palo Verde National Park, Biological Reserve Lomas de Barbudal, and several smaller and lesser known protected areas.
3km south of Bagaces on the road to Palo Verde is the turnoff for Llano de Cortes, a hidden waterfall that's free to enter and perfect for an afternoon swim.
The Salto River on the west and Tenorio River on the east delineate this canton, with Tempisque River as the southern border and the northern border high in the Cordillera de Guanacaste. Miravalles Volcano sits near that border's midway point.
The canton of Bagaces is subdivided into 4 distritos (districts).
