The Juan Santamaria International Airport is Costa Rica's main airport. It is located in the province of Alajuela, 18 km from the city of San Jos�.

The Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport, also known as the International Airport of Liberia, is one of Costa Rica�s four international airports.

Arriving at the International Airport of Liberia is the quickest way to get to places such as Tamarindo, Playa Negra, Golfo de Papagayo, Mal Pa�s, Playa Flamingo, Playa Samara, and the National Marine Park Las Baulas.

It was named in honor of the former president of Costa Rica (1974-1978), Daniel Oduber Quir�s, who had the idea of building an airport in the region and who fought strongly for Guanacaste�s expansion and development. This international airport was inaugurated in 1995 with a commercial flight that arrived from Miami, Florida.
