Liberia
Africa
Liberia is West Africa's oldest republic — founded by freed American slaves in 1847 — with a fascinating and complex history, stunning rainforests, and beautiful Atlantic beaches. The country's national parks protect some of West Africa's last remaining chimpanzee populations, and its surf beaches along the Pepper Coast are gaining a devoted following among surfers. Liberia's Kru and other cultures offer rich traditional experiences.
