First trip to Costa Rica

[WAYNE MARINA]

July 24th will be our first trip to Costa Rica. We are staying in the northern region at Villas Sol Hotel and Beach Resort, and flying into Liberia. We don’t feel comfortable renting a car with this being are first trip. If you could answer a couple of questions that would help us greatly. Do we need to arange transportation from the airport, or is there a taxi service from there? Also we would like to go on a couple of day trips to the Lake Arenal area and the hot springs in La Fortuna. Is there a prefered travel company or a bus service to there areas?Thanks

Hi Wayne,

Very cool you’re coming down for a visit. There are plenty of taxis at the Liberia airport. But you might want to check with your hotel if they have some sort of shuttle service, some do some don’t.

As far as getting to Arenal and La Fortuna, you have a couple of options for private shuttles, which will take you door to door. You can reserve your seats now or wait until you get to CR and book through your hotel or by phone.

Once at Arenal and La Fortuna you can hire a driver/guide (ask the hotel for recommendations) or sign up for tours to get to the various attractions like the hot springs. There are plenty of taxis there as well.

Good luck and have fun.
