Costa Rica Limón Province
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
A laid-back coastal town known for its surf spots, Afro-Caribbean culture, wildlife, and proximity to Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge.
Tips from the community
This is more of a lively town than Cahuita and offers the same crystal clear, warm blue waters, plus every water sport and activity you can think of. It's a great place to end your trip, because you take a white water rafting trip that will drop you off back in San Jose to catch your flight!

Traveling Solo in Costa Rica
netanyas (Netanya Trimboli) I'll admit, solo travel is not my favorite. But I had a killer time in Costa Rica, because there was so much to do and everyone was so friendly. I made friends at hostels everywhere I went (except San Jose!) and had such an amazing time. Doesn't hurt that everything is so cheap either!
