Liberia Travel Guide

 travelintraina Says:  The local government in Liberia has protected several of its historical houses and buildings. You can recognize these by a plaque on the side of the building that says "Casa Historica, Calle Real", or something similar depending on what street you're on. The owners of these... 

 80bee Says:  Living in Liberia used to mean subsisting on a diet of rice and beans, local beer and the greasy aroma emitted from Kuru on a Friday night. These days, more and more bars are opening up to supply the more discerning end of the market. An influx of young professionals,...

 Osuav8r Says:  We had a day to spend in Liberia before catching a flight home the next morning and were looking for a little local flavor. We definitely found it at Tacos Cantarannas! It is located on the highway between Liberia airport and the town of Liberia, roughly 4km from the... 

 metal_warrior Says:  Located near the banks of the Corobicí River, open air, seating on the deck overlooking the river, they serves excellent costa rican cuisine. Though the prices are bit expensive, but its worth it,. 

 travelintraina Says:  The food isn't spectacular but is still good. What makes this place great is the ability to hang out on a covered outdoor patio letting the breeze cool you off while watching kids play in the park, couples walking, and talking to anyone that walks by about their hometown.

 daffodil Says:   At many of the shops in the Pacific Northwest we saw beautiful photo albums made of local materials including leaves, seed pods, sticks, rocks and shells. There are several different styles and sizes so if you don't see what you want at the first store don't settle,... 

 acrijk Says:  As we arrived in Liberia, we found that alcohol sales were illegal the Thursday before and Good Friday. I had to drive a fella I didn't know to the ouskirts of town to buy a bunch of beer. That may not have been my brightest idea, but it worked out fine. 

 daffodil Says:  The resort owns a small private beach club about a 10 minute boat ride from the black sand beach where the resort is located. This beach is nice and has very clear water were you can watch the fish and rays and sharks swim near your feet. Just don't get too close! They have... 

 daffodil Says:   We were lucky enough to get a chance to feed the monkeys near the resort gate. The guard gave us some bananas and we put them down and the bold white face monkey that was with the troupe that was there for a few days came and took them. It was so neat to see them up close.
