Our departure day started before sunrise, and I remember the quiet of Manuel Antonio before everything wakes up. Traveling with my partner, we wanted a smooth way back to Liberia Airport without dealing with connections. The ride turned into a reflective part of the trip, watching the scenery shift from lush green hills to drier landscapes. There were a few winding sections and occasional slowdowns near towns, but nothing frustrating. We chose a private transfer Costa Rica service, and it gave us space to relax, talk about our trip, and even enjoy a quick roadside break. Arriving at the airport felt seamless, which is exactly what we needed before a long flight home.

Leaving Manuel Antonio after a week of vacation was tough, especially with the humidity and packing the night before. We had two large bags and a carry-on each, so comfort mattered. The journey to Liberia takes several hours, passing through different climates and some busy local areas. We decided on a transportation in Costa Rica option that was private, mainly for flexibility. We made a short stop for coffee and snacks, which helped break up the trip. Overall, it felt organized and stress-free.

We had an early pickup from Manuel Antonio, and I was still half asleep when the ride started. Everything was punctual and calm, which helped ease the stress of catching a flight. The drive is long, but traffic was light that morning. I booked a private transfer Costa Rica and appreciated not having to think about timing or stops. The road was mostly smooth, with a few slower sections through towns.
