Santa Rosa National Park Getting There

Bus - You can take a direct bus to Liberia, which departs San Jose, Costa Rica eight times daily, and later catch a connecting bus which will pass by the entrance to the national park along the Pan American Highway. There are several buses which depart daily from Liberia and pass the Santa Rosa National Park. The direct bus to Liberia takes approximately four hours and they normally run close to schedule.
Let the driver know, with sufficient notice, that you would like to be dropped off at the entrance of this Costa Rica National park. The distance from the drop-off point to the main camping area is approximately 7 km (4.35 miles) on a hot, paved and open road. We recommend that you purchase a good supply of fluids before departing either San Jose or Liberia. Upon your arrive at the National park entrance, there is no fluid available until you reach the main camping area. Along the entrance road, there are two vistas on the right side which provide spectacular views and a well deserved resting spot.
Car - Just continue north along the Pan-American Highway from Liberia until you reach the Park's entrance on the left side of the road. The road from the main, upper level camping area down to the beach is at times restricted even in the dry season. We highly recommend a strong, four-wheel drive vehicle as this long, steep, pothole filled dirt road is treacherous and at times impassable.
