After Ironman Costa Rica 2017, Take a Break at Hacienda Guachipelin
Ultimate adventure hotel Hacienda Guachipelin in Guanacaste, Costa Rica is a great place for a much-deserved vacation after Ironman Costa Rica 2017.
For the first time in history, the famous Ironman competition is coming to Costa Rica in June 2017.
The Ironman 70.3 Costa Rica triathlon is set for June 18, 2017 at Playas del Coco, one of Costa Rica’s most popular beaches in the Guanacaste region.
While this is the first time the world famous Ironman endurance competition is happening here, Costa Rica is no stranger to extreme adventure races. Elite international athletes travel to Costa Rica several times a year for competitions, like La Ruta de los Conquistadores mountain bike race, and The North Face Endurance Challenge Costa Rica, held every year in May at Rincon de la Vieja Volcano and Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin.
Extend your trip after Ironman Costa Rica 2017, with a much-deserved vacation at the ultimate adventure hotel in Guanacaste, Costa Rica – Hacienda Guachipelin.
Home to endurance races The North Face Endurance Challenge Costa Rica and 160K Rincon de la Vieja Mountain Bike Race, Hacienda Guachipelin offers friendly Costa Rican hospitality and some of the best adventure tours in Costa Rica.
Its exceptional location next to the Rincon de la Vieja National Park and Volcano means you have unparalleled access to volcanic mineral hot springs, waterfalls, and the exciting features of a live volcano.
The award-winning Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin is only 15.5 miles (25 km) northeast of Guanacaste’s main city of Liberia, providing easy access to the Liberia International Airport.
Also known as a Half Ironman, the Ironman 70.3 is one of a series of long distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC). The number 70.3 refers to the total distance in miles (113.0 km) covered in the race that involves a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run, said the WTC. The segment distances are half of those in a full Ironman triathlon. More than 2,000 competitors have already registered for the race.
“With its beautiful natural landscape and indigenous flora and fauna, Costa Rica is the ideal place to host an IRONMAN 70.3 race,” said Ironman organizers.
A lodging option near the race site at Playas del Coco is Hotel Bosque del Mar, an Enchanting Hotel of Costa Rica. The beachfront boutique hotel is located on the neighboring beach of Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste.
