Posted March 7, 2017

Guanacaste has always been known for its sunny days, warm, friendly locals and gorgeous beaches, And Liberia, its capital city is no exception to that! Although Liberia is just a small town of about 40,000 people; it sure has so much for visitors to explore and discover!

In the last couple of years, Liberia has undergone a huge transformation due to the construction of the Daniel Oduber International Airport. This is Costa Rica’s second biggest airport which receives international flights from all over the world. Once a quiet town, now Liberia is known for offering a huge variety of restaurants, hotels and entertainment options.

But why build an airport here you might ask? It’s a no-brainer: its absolutely beautiful beaches! Liberia offers warm weather, breezy winds, white sand beaches, and sea through oceans – who would like that? Here you will be able to find everything from hostels to gorgeous 5-star resorts depending on your travel needs. Some of the most popular beaches include Tamarindo, Flamingo, Hermosa, Papagayo and El Coco.

Another reason to visit Liberia is its incredibly unique national parks! Guanacaste is filled with preserved areas that go from rainforests to marine wonders! And they are all available for you to explore! On your visit you can do anything from hiking, to zip lining, canopy, snorkeling and even scuba diving!
Although there are countless National Parks in Guanacaste, there are two that are located right in Liberia: Rincon de la Vieja National Park and Santa Rosa National Park.

Because of the expansion caused by the airport, Liberia now offers countless restaurants and bars that you can enjoy. Here you will also be able to find every need such as supermarkets, drug stores and even your occasional gym.

Liberia is located on the northwest area of Costa Rica, about 215 kilometers from the capital of San Jose. The drive will take you about 4-5 hours depending on the traffic. Don’t have a car? Not to worry! You can also rent one quickly and easy from Solid Car Rental right at the airport’s terminal!
