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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
