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!

    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!
