Reasons to visit Liberia

This region located in the northwestern part of the country is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the looming Cordillera de Guanacaste volcanic mountain range to the east. To the south is the Nicoya Peninsula, with endless beaches for more than 60 miles along the Pacific coastline. The area has mostly unpaved roads, so unless you have a boat you should take a plane to the destination and grab your rental car from there.

The beaches come in all sizes and colors: white sand, black sand, palm fringed, beaches for swimming, surfing, kayaking, partying and sunbathing. The surf at Witches Rock and Playa Negra are serious and are worth the journey. For divers – the marine life off the Guanacaste Coast feature sharks, rays, sea turtles and moray eels.

From October thru April you can see turtles nesting at Playa Grande and Playa Ostional to the south, if you have the chance to see this incredible theatre of natural selection don’t miss it!

Quick Facts

Liberia, the region’s charming capital was founded in 1769 and is known as the white city for its whitewashed adobe houses with terra-cotta tile roofs. A perfect example of Liberia’s trademark architecture, go to Calle Real where you will find examples of puertas del sol, double doors, one on each side to catch the morning and afternoon sun.

Guanacaste is the only region in Costa Rica to have its own provincial flag. The region celebrates every July its separation from Nicaragua in 1824.

This region is still dominated by cowboys and their unique culture. A majority of Guanacastecos make their living as sabaneros or cowboys. The sabaneros are proud folkloric members of the communities, they are known for riding straight-backed in their decorated saddles leading their horses in file in a high stepping gait. The most important days of the year in Guanacaste are celebrated with topes (horse shows) and recorridos de toros (bullfights). Bulls are ridden but never killed.
