Nueva Guatemala is being discovered. It's a village of 50-60 families located a little northwest of Lake Arenal on the flanks of the dormant Volcan Tenorio. There's a school, a grocery, and a small health center and it's less than an hour from the Liberia shopping centers and the airport. It's closer to Bagaces on the Interamerican Highway than to Tilaran, but it is not far to Lake Arenal through the villages of Tierras Morenas and Sabalito.
