RIK is the airport code for Carrillo Airport, a small airstrip serving the beach areas of Playa Carrillo and Samara on the Nicoya Peninsula, on the Pacific coast of the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. This is one of Costa Rica's most relaxed stretches of coast, known for its palm-lined beaches, warm sea and laid-back villages. Playa Carrillo is a beautiful, quiet crescent of sand backed by palms, while nearby Samara is a friendly beach town popular for swimming, surfing lessons, and a gentle, family-friendly atmosphere within a sheltered bay. The area is part of the tropical dry forest and beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula, a region also known for the longevity of its people. Carrillo is reached by small aircraft to the airstrip and by road across Guanacaste, with the larger Liberia airport serving the wider region. The climate is hot, with a dry season and a green, wetter season.
