Before you land at LIR
Guanacaste Airport, still widely known as Liberia Airport, is the closest international airport to Costa Rica’s northern Pacific beaches. Papagayo, Playa del Coco and Tamarindo are a short private ride from arrivals, and the Nicoya Peninsula is within an easy afternoon’s drive.
Liberia or Guanacaste? Same airport
The airport’s official name is Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport. Most travellers call it Liberia Airport, and it now promotes itself as Guanacaste Airport. Whichever name is on your ticket, the code is LIR.
The beaches are close
Many Guanacaste beach towns are under an hour and a half from arrivals, so you can land in the afternoon and still be at your hotel before sunset.
One fare for the whole group
Fares are per vehicle, so a family or group pays the same as a solo traveller, up to the vehicle’s capacity.
