Los Guacos Cattle Farm

Los Guacos Farm is a 148-hectare cattle farm near the town of Cañas, in Guanacaste Province.

The farm is used as an extensive cattle farm operation. Currently, a rustic cattle corral, fencing, and marginal maintenance for cattle farming is provided, therefore, some investments are required to efficiently function as a productive cattle farm.
