Itinerary Overview
The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica vibrates to the sound of the purest reggae style. Time stands still in this small and picturesque town of unpaved roads bathed by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean where the beach and the jungle almost shake hands. Eternal dream of white sand and coconut trees, turquoise sea, mountainous reliefs of lush green are lost to sight, sun Although many other times tropical rain, but blessed rain! The bicycle is the local means of transport, they call them bananas and its the easiest way to move between its beaches and natural parks far and wide, from the town to Cocles, Punta Uva, Playa Chiquita, Manzanillo.
It is obligatory to stop at its street stalls at every step, where the food is delicious, tropical fruits, cold coconuts, empanadas, rice and beans Tico style .... Don't miss the Sunday market.
Even being a place that welcomes so many different cultures per square meter, it still retains its essence and its particular rhythm, where the protagonism is above all its fauna and flora, the deafening sound of the congo monkeys, toucans, frogs, ... even the sloths go at their own pace, day and night without rest because nature is very much alive. Live Puerto Viejo, live its people, live in the pure Afro-Caribbean style.
