Liberia Airport (LIR) to La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano)
Liberia is the closer airport for anyone starting in Guanacaste, and the drive to La Fortuna takes about three hours across the northern plains. It is the standard opening leg for a trip that pairs the Pacific coast with the volcano, and the one to book if your flight lands at LIR rather than San José. La Fortuna sits at the foot of Arenal Volcano and works as a base for hot springs, rainforest hiking and the Caño Negro wildlife refuge. Pickup is at the terminal door with your name on the sign, and the fare is agreed before you travel.
