Liberia, the capital of Guanacaste province in Costa Rica, is a charming city with Spanish colonial history, serving as a great access point to the many natural wonders of this ecotourism hotspot. Liberia vacations are the perfect holiday solution for the real nature lover, offering some of Costa Rica's best resort hotels and nature parks. Although Liberia vacations are not known for great beaches, its unique, volcanic sand beaches offer great seclusion for those who can appreciate their natural beauty. 

Getting Around: Tourists tend to move easily from place to place via taxis, car or jeep rentals.  Driving distances to points of interest may be considerable (90 minutes or more), but driving in Costa Rica is fairly manageable and provides great access to secluded natural wonders. Many tourists on Liberia vacations arrange excursions from the resort hotels, which is a great alternative to a self-guided adventure.

Where to Stay: There are many accommodation options on a Liberia vacation. Choose from a variety of hotels that we offer including Riu Guanacaste and Dreams Las Mareas.

Weather: Weather is typically hot, humid, tropical, and relatively dry during the winter season. The rainy season takes place from May through October. The annual average is 28C.

Attractions: Attractions include the natural wonders of volcanos, cloud forests, hot springs, volcanic sand beaches, and the incredible diversity of Costa Rican flora and fauna. No Liberia vacation would be complete without a trip to see the active Arenal Volcano, located just a few hours from San Jose. Equally impressive is the Monteverde Cloud Forest in the Central Mountains – a hiker's paradise, home to a multitude of mammal, bird, and insect species. 

Nightlife, shopping, and dining are limited. There is a local mall and vendors with hand-made craftworks. There are some local restaurants to be explored in smaller towns in the region – rice and beans is a local specialty, as well as great seafood. In addition to the wonderful ecotourism activities offered, Liberia vacations feature good sporting activities like deep sea fishing, zip lining, hiking and soccer. Scuba and snorkeling enthusiasts will find good options available for exploring the coastal waters. For those who would like to take a break from the excitement of ecotourism, Liberia vacations offer a couple of golf courses for the leisure golfer. 

Liberia vacations appeal to a wide range of people, including singles, families, and couples.  With such outstanding geography and plant and animal diversity, it is no wonder that Liberia vacations attract active nature lovers in search of ecotourism adventure.
