Conveniently located near the capital and easily accessible, La Libertad is a favorite spot for locals; in under an hour you can escape the urban hustle and bustle, enjoying seafood and a beautiful sunset.
This region features pre-Hispanic ruins, colonial architecture, exceptionally fertile agricultural land, and stunning beaches, including El Tunco, El Majahual, San Blas, El Sunzal, and San Diego.
Weather on the coast and in the low valleys tends to be hot, but you can also find mild and even cool weather in some of the higher altitude regions.
