City Sightseeing Is Featured in These Trips
Here are some of the combo trips we recommend you to check out if you want to experience City Sightseeing:
The White City”
Historically, Liberia was called “The White City” because its homes and churches were painted with natural white limestone, the sandy roads were white, and even the people dressed in all white to beat the heat. You’ll learn more about the history and some unique buildings on tour.
Guanacaste
Originally the town had a different name, El Guanacaste, which was used more as its address. There’s a 200-year-old Guanacaste tree in the city's center, so that’s how the people of Liberia describe the area. Today, the tree’s canopy spans 120 feet, providing shade for the park, and its trunk measures 15 feet around.
Shopping Time
You’ll see a church built in the 1800s, a school from 1904, and some heritage houses. After the walking tour to check out the sights, your guide will let you go off on your own to shop around the city center and drive you to a couple of souvenir shops.
