Curubandé is a district in the Liberia Canton of Costa Rica.[1] In recent years, Curubandé has become a center of tourism within Costa Rica. This is due in large part to the nearby Rincon de la Vieja National Park.

Curubande is also the site of Las Pailas Geothermal Central, a large geothermal power plant that is being built to provide a large portion of Costa Rica's electric energy needs.

The district has a population of about 2,800 people.[2]

Administrative center of the district is Cereceda. Other villages are Colorado and Curubandé.[1]
