Your Journey: Liberia Airport to Santa Teresa
Journey to the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, home to world-class surf and a thriving international community. Includes a scenic ferry crossing or coastal drive.
Travel Time Reality Check
Google shows 4.5-5 hours and that's optimistic. The drive goes by land through Nicoya and down the peninsula — plan for 5-6 hours. The last stretch to Santa Teresa is unpaved and slow. Our vans are built for exactly this kind of road.
Road Conditions
Mix of paved roads and well-maintained gravel. Our drivers are experts on the best route.
Local Tip from Our Team
Santa Teresa has consistent surf year-round - Playa Carmen for beginners, Mal País for advanced riders.
From Our Team
If you can, fly into LIR in the morning and we'll get you to Santa Teresa by afternoon. The drive by land through the Nicoya Peninsula is beautiful — dry forests, small Tico towns, and that feeling of getting further from civilization. Once you hit Santa Teresa, the vibe is pure surf and chill. Ask your driver about the road conditions — in dry season it's easy, rainy season it's an adventure.
