Liberia
Located 135 miles (220km) northwest of San Jose, Liberia is not
so much a tourist destination as a convenient travel hub and
gateway to the stunning beaches of Northwest Costa Rica. The small
city does offer some colonial charm in the form of pretty buildings
and churches along with a selection of restaurants and nightclubs,
but one of its main attractions is the Rio Negro Hot Spring.
Liberia is also ideally situated as a base to explore some of the
stunning national parks in Costa Rica, including Rincón de la Vieja
Volcano and Santa Rosa National Park. Home to Costa Rica's second
largest international airport, many tourists travel through Liberia
on their Costa Rica holiday.
Information & Facts
Language
Spanish is the official language, but English is widely
spoken.
Money
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is divided into 100 céntimos and is
the official currency, although US Dollars are also widely
accepted. US Dollars and travellers cheques can be exchanged in
banks and many hotels. Banks charge a service fee for cashing
travellers cheques and currency other than US$ is difficult to
exchange. Using black market exchange options is risky as they have
been known to pass on counterfeit bills printed in Colombia. Banks
close anywhere from 3pm to 6pm. Major credit cards are widely
accepted, although American Express and Diners Club might be more
limited. ATMs are available in major towns throughout the country,
but it is advisable to always have some local cash handy.
