Liberia is the largest city and provincial capital of Guanacaste province, Costa Rica. It is 215 km (134 mi) to the northwest of San José. The city is today the main urban center for northwest Costa Rica. It has a population of 35,000 people (2011 estimate).

Being the main town on the Pacific coast of the country, Liberia acts as gateway for visiting the Pacific beaches such as Playa Hermosa, Playa del Coco and Playa Tamarindo. This position also helps Liberia develop as a tourist destination, with a number of attractions of its own.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
