Guests staying at Occidental Papagayo Costa Rica can enjoy several memorable excursions near Liberia, Costa Rica, with private pickup directly from the resort. Liberia is a useful geographical reference for exploring northern Guanacaste, but your guide and private vehicle meet you at the hotel.

Rincón de la Vieja is an excellent choice for travelers interested in volcanic landscapes and outdoor exploration. The Las Pailas trails reveal steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, tropical dry forest, and other signs of geothermal activity. This option is best suited to guests comfortable walking on uneven or potentially wet trails.

For wildlife observation with less walking, consider the Safari Boat Tour on the Tempisque River. From the boat, your guide helps you look for crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds. Dock access and boarding conditions should still be confirmed for travelers with mobility concerns.

Choose Sloths & Tropical Wildlife if seeing sloths and exploring a greener forest habitat are your priorities. This full-day inland excursion travels toward the Bijagua area and may also offer opportunities to observe toucans, frogs, monkeys, and other tropical wildlife. Animal sightings always depend on natural conditions.

The best option depends on your interests and preferred activity level: Rincón de la Vieja for volcanic trails, Safari Boat for river wildlife with less walking, or Sloths & Tropical Wildlife for a guided forest excursion.
