TRANSPORTATION

How do I get there?
Book your flight to Liberia, Costa Rica Airport (Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport - LIB) to arrive BEFORE 2pm (or reasonably close to 2) on Saturday January 9th, 2022. Book your return flight for January 16th, AFTER 12pm. ​

On January 9th, the group will meet in the baggage claim area at 2pm and a complimentary shuttle will pick us up and take us to the delicious German bakery for an optional local meal and yummy baked goods. Then we head towards the coast. It's about a 2 1/2hr drive into the beautiful village of Playa Guiones, Nosara

How can we get around once on site?
Most everything in Playa Guiones is within walking distance. The beach is an easy 5min walk from the house. If you have trouble walking or just like to roam a little further, you can rent a bicycle, tuk tuk or even a quad (motorized 4 wheeler).

How far away is…?
Playa Guiones, Nosara is bout a 2.5 hour drive south west of Liberia on the Pacific Coast. With it's remote location, the village remains fairly undeveloped since being discovered by adventurous surfers in the 70's and is protected jungle by the government. There are a handful of small, locally owned hotels, restaurants & bars, and friendly dogs roaming the nearby streets and beach. At sunrise and sunset, you can see (and hear) the adorable howler monkeys and their families. You'll see many wild iguanas and maybe even an armadillo at night. You'll instantly feel the laid-back vibe that has made Nosara a haven for surfers, adventure travelers and dedicated relaxation seekers.

What about cash & essentials?
Still fairly secluded, the closest town with ATM, pharmacy and large grocery is about a 20 min drive. So best to stock up on any essentials on the drive into town or from any of the local stores with the basics. There's also local fruit, vegetable and coconut vendors out every day.

Is there WiFi?
Yes, there is complimentary moderate speed WIFI at our house and most local cafes and restaurants.
