Arrive in Liberia, to La Fortuna in one day?

Country forums / Central America / Costa Rica

Hello,
Leaving in a day, and have a plan for the first day of my arrival in CR. Wondering if this is doable/adviseable (or if it should be done differently):

- Plane lands in Liberia at noon
- Taxi to Liberia, change money at bank, visit tourist office
- Catch interbus to La Fortuna (one leaves at around 3?)
- Find a hotel in La Fortuna

Basically I'd like to get to La Fortuna to spend the first night (and to see Arenal the next day). Advice much appreciated!

Cheers
j

Interbus leaves Liberia at 3.15 pm and will be in La Fortuna about 6 pm. See the accommodations of La Fortuna de San Carlos on the Fortuna hotel map

You should have no problems doing that, going around the lake thru the mountains at sunset will be nice, pick up some beer in Liberia too...

Traffic aside, it should be less than 3 hours drive!

In adition to the above, don't waste time converting money: use an ATM..
