A real example: 9 days in Costa Rica from Liberia
Here’s a real example of a trip organized recently, to give you an idea of what you could experience: the northern volcanoes, La Fortuna, Monteverde, then the beach.
Day 1
Arrive in Liberia
Liberia airport (LIR) is a great way to avoid long drives. It’s often more convenient than San José’s if you want to explore the North Pacific or the northern region.
Day 2
Nature near the volcano
Near Liberia lies Rincón de la Vieja National Park, one of the most complete: trails, waterfalls, forest, wildlife… plus great adventure options and cultural tours.
Day 3
More nature, or incredible views
Places like Curubandé or Bijagua see fewer tourists: a strategic stop to get closer to local life.
Day 4
On to La Fortuna
A Costa Rica must-see: tropical jungle, waterfalls and even natural hot springs to relax in.
Day 5
Arenal volcano
One of the most impressive places in the country: hiking, nature, waterfalls and much more.
Day 6
A day full of adventures
On the menu: horseback riding, tubing, quad biking or even night tours. Want to see sloths? Here you’ll see them, no problem.
Days 7 and 8
Monteverde
A region of coffee, cacao and sugar cane, with hanging bridges and thrills like ziplining.
Day 9
The beach
We finish with a complete change of scene: sand, sea and sunsets. Quiet beaches? Nacascolo, Calzón de Pobre, Rajadita. Livelier ones with restaurants and shops? Flamingo, Conchal or Tamarindo.
Every itinerary is unique and personalized, so you make the most of this beautiful country.
