We work in partnership with the main providers in Guanacaste
Guanacaste has that wide-open energy that makes everything look bigger. It’s the driest, sunniest province in Costa Rica, with a personality of its own: cowboy culture, savannah-like plains, gold-sand beaches like Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal, and the Papagayo peninsula for that five-star look. It has it all: reliable light almost all year round, an international airport in Liberia twenty minutes from set, and a hospitality infrastructure built for big crews. That’s why so many international productions choose Guanacaste, and why the good beaches book up fast in high season. The good news? We’re already in. And we’re opening all the doors for you.
The way we get involved in your production
Guanacaste is your track for that car commercial you’ve been dreaming of.
Cars, bikes or motorbikes… they all look amazing on Guanacaste’s coastal road, the Route 21 straights or the dusty tracks that lead to hidden beaches. Whether it’s a highway shot or a curvy climb up to Rincón de la Vieja, we’ve got solid experience managing traffic control and all the filming protocols to shoot smoothly. Permits, locations and all that paperwork nobody wants to deal with, don’t worry, we’ve got it covered. As soon as you share your concept and storyline, we get to work with our network of trusted partners and your budget in mind.
01
Guanacaste has everything you need for your next fashion campaign. So do we.
Is your campaign going for that editorial, sporty, swimwear or resort look? Guanacaste has the perfect setting and at Fonktown we know how to make it shine. We find the right talent so they can do their thing while we nail the perfect shot of your collection on the white sand of Conchal, the surf breaks of Tamarindo or the infinity pools of Papagayo. We’ve worked with brands that set global trends and your production could be the next one to make a mark. When you know the coast well, things just run smoother.
02
Your documentary takes the spotlight, Guanacaste sets the scene.
Telling real stories has its own rhythm. Whether it’s a docuseries, an intimate portrait or a socially driven documentary, it all starts with finding the places and people that actually add something to the story. We’ve been driving this province for years: we know the sabanero families who still work cattle on horseback, the fishermen of the Nicoya peninsula and the surf towns that turned into communities. We didn’t read it in a guide, we know it because we’ve lived it. If Guanacaste is on the map, we’re right here to help you get the most out of it.
03
Branded Content: your brand story, told with purpose.
Who wouldn’t produce their branded content in Guanacaste with a team that already knows the coast, who to talk to, where to shoot and has the means to make it happen? Whether you’re creating content for your Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos or any other digital channel, Guanacaste offers beaches, volcanoes and luxury hotels within an hour of each other, plus the infrastructure to make it all work. When you know your way around, things move faster, and that’s how ideas made for social media turn into visual pieces that really connect with your audience.
04
We will offer you the proper locations in Guanacaste and the rest of Costa Rica to carry out your project. We have access to private homes, natural parks, public institutions and buildings to make your project perfect.
Beaches, volcanoes and open plains that fit perfectly into any shot. From Playa Conchal and Tamarindo to the cliffs of Papagayo, the mangroves of Nosara, the waterfalls and thermal springs of Rincón de la Vieja or the cattle ranches around Liberia, the province offers options for every kind of campaign. And if you venture a little further, the map opens up to Santa Rosa National Park, the Nicoya peninsula and the road down to Sámara and Nosara, full of dirt tracks perfect for dynamic shots. It’s no coincidence Guanacaste is the favorite of so many international productions. That said, reaching those locations isn’t always straightforward. Whether it’s a private beach club, a national park permit or a spot you won’t find in any guide, you need someone who knows how to navigate it all. That’s where we come in.
