On July 25, 1824, Costa Rica’s annexation of Guanacaste became official. In 1848, the territory officially became a Costa Rican province with four cantons: Nicoya, Santa Cruz, Bagaces and Cañas. Today, Guanacaste has 11 cantons.
Two more tropical waves are expected to hit Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast this week. The first will hit Thursday and the National Emergency Comission (CNE) announced a red alert for the districts of Cóbano, Lepanto and Paquera.
