About this route
From the terminal you drive south through Guanacaste's ranch country, then turn toward the coast on local roads. It's one of the longer transfers from LIR, and the last stretch is narrower than the highway.
Playa Negra is known for its surf break, and the area around it is quiet: small hotels, a few restaurants and rental houses spread along the coast.
Your driver takes you to your hotel or rental. Send the address or a map pin ahead of time — it saves a wrong turn on the last stretch.
