Liberia Airport - grounds
Liberia
International Airport is still a fairly small airport, although plans
are in development for expansion.You would be hard pressed to get lost
here so no need for a map.
The airport
consists of a two storey building with outdoor shaded seating area. On
the ground floor you will find the airline desks for check in and a
Money Exchange. |
|
Upstairs are the bathrooms and a small cafe, as well as the Airport Administration Office and a couple of airline offices.
Taxis wait out front for passengers.
The
distance from the main Highway 21 to the airport complex is about 1 km
and can be walked in 10 minutes if you are up for it. Just try to stay
in the grassy median. There is a public bus stop right at the
intersection of the highway and airport entrance to take you either to
the city of Liberia (left) or to the beaches such as Tamarindo and Papagayo (right) |
