The municipality of La Libertad is located northeast of the department of Chontales. A good part of the territory is undulating with notable elevations and wide valleys.
El Corozo Waterfalls
Between the natural attractions from the municipality are the Serranías de Amerrique, which has been declared a Natural Reserve. Punta Tumbé, with 997 meters above sea level, and the Piedra Quemada are its main reference points. Dense forested areas cover this entire area. The fauna is abundant and the red and blue arrow frog (Oophaga pumilio) stands out, a species of amphibian with high concentrations of poisonous alkaloids in its skin.
The El Corozo waterfalls They are a spectacle of nature. In a deafening way, the waters coming from Amerrique spill over a rocky terrain and run forming deep pools. The environment is covered by a dense and humid forest.
In the Bethulia community, formerly a mountain pass, is the The Witch jump, a beautiful waterfall with a large pool that is the delight of those who venture to dive into it. This place is part of the beginning of the Siquia River route, a resource with an abundance of fish for the practice of sport fishing.
On this same area, the road that leads from Betulia to Arena, El Partido and Carquita can be traveled to discover an environment rarely explored and full of remote natural settings. This route connects with the one that goes to Tawa, Palmira, Cerro Chato and Siquia River, both highly productive and conducive to traveling by motorcycle or 4×4 vehicles.
