Making
travel arrangements for your vacation destination can be a tedious
and often frustrating experience. For this reason, we, your hosts
at Villa Ocotal, have compiled a list of airlines that fly into San
Jose and Liberia. San Jose is a four hour
drive through the dry rain forest and coffee country and if your
are a first timer it can be a pleasurable way to get a feel for
Costa Rican culture.
In order to
travel to Costa Rica, adults must have a passport valid for 6 months
beyond your travel date. A U.S. birth certificate
and photo ID will
NOT suffice.. More
information may be found

into the Liberia airport (~20 minutes from Villa Ocotal),
transportation for your group to/from Villa Ocotal can be provided
for a nominal charge.
