Los Pargos Playa Negra

is located in the province of Guanacaste, in the Pacific North West of Costa Rica. We are 30 minutes south from Tamarindo, and 60 minutes from Liberia International Airport .

We  have a brand new highway, called Caldera, which will bring you from San Jose in 3 hours.

The easiest and most flexible way to get here is by renting a car. Roads are generally in good condition and getting better every year. It's not necessary to get a 4x4, but access to some places can get tricky during rainy season, so it depends upon where you are traveling and what roads you may take.

The main advantage of renting a car is that you have complete liberty regarding your travels. You can enjoy your holidays just the way you want, and go to the surf, beach, or other sites whenever you feel like doing so. There are many rental companies in Costa Rica, and we can always give you advice on the best choice for you.
