Sights in La Libertad

1. Parque Nacional Walter T Deininger

   • La Libertad, El Salvador
   • Sights › Outdoors

   Named after the German settler who donated his land to El Salvador, this national park has two types of forest: caducifolio, which sheds its leaves in summer, and galería, which retains its foliage year-round. An 18km (11.2mi) trail skirts the park - stay close to the ranger and keep your eyes peeled for a torogoz (blue-crowned mot-mot), the national bird.

2. Playa San Diego

   • La Libertad, El Salvador
   • Sights › Beach

   This beach is a long, broad swath of flat, gray sand. Next to the water you'll find La Bocana, where two rivers empty into the ocean and form the San Diego estuary - it's popular for swimming, though God knows what's dumped in the water upstream. Here, a gaggle of restaurants compete mightily for your business, offering cheap beer and fish plates.

3. Iglesia

   • La Libertad, El Salvador
   • Sights › Religious, spiritual

   La Libertad's church has a sad corrugated cement exterior surrounded by a high steel fence and is surprisingly easy to miss. The inside is a slight improvement (albeit varnished plywood sealing the nave) with some wooden pews and small statues adorning the walls. As far as La Libertad's sights go, this is it. Sigh.
