Costa Rica has two international airports – one in San Jose (airport code SJO) which is 5-6 hours away by car, and one in Liberia (airport code LIR) which is about one hour away by car. Both airports are serviced by a wide variety of international airlines. There is also a local airport for small passenger planes 20 minutes from the school in the beach town of Tamarindo. This airport is serviced by Sansa (221-9414) and Nature Air (220-3054), which provide service from San Jose and Liberia to Tamarindo.
