More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the plane at Liberia and the dry Guanacaste wind greets you—warm, slightly dusty, promising beaches ahead. A driver holds a name sign amid the bustle, and soon the vehicle slides onto the Pan-American and then toward the Nicoya Peninsula. The landscape opens: low hills of volcanic rock, cattle pastures, and patches of tropical dry forest that flare green after rains. Rivers thread toward estuaries that dare the ocean to swallow them.
