- Liberia’s Beaches: Liberia has few beaches, but the few beaches it does have are special. Nacascolo, for example, is a beach that was very important for the indigenous people, and you will be able to see part of their legacy and a beautiful landscape.
- Poza Los Coyotes: A landscape very different from what is customary to see in the country, a pool formed by a blue water river. Nothing like a cool pool to relieve the heat of the Guanacaste pampas
- Guanacastecan Food: Since you will be in Guanacaste, you must try the region’s typical food. Corn-based products, whether sweet or savory pastries, such as biscochos, tanelas, and threads. Or have a coffee accompanied by a tortilla with cheese. What a delight the food of Guanacaste.

The Guanacaste province of Costa Rica, where Liberia and La Cruz are located, has a unique history compared to the rest of the country. The region was originally part of Nicaragua, and its inhabitants had a distinct culture and identity. The annexation of Guanacaste to Costa Rica in 1824 was a significant event in the country’s history and was the result of a popular movement led by the people of Guanacaste themselves.
