Caribbean Coast

V!VA User‘s Description

Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast, dominated by the Limon province, validates the country’s name for its richness both geographically and culturally. Extending 200 meters (120 miles) from the border with Nicaragua to the border with Panama, the northern coast offers a different Costa Rica, one in which the traditional Latin culture gives way to the Afro-Caribbean influences of Rasta, exotic spices, steel drums, and a generally relaxed, recreational lifestyle. Sport fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, and exploring opportunities to observe all that swims, walks, and flies are abundant. Cahuita National Park, Tortuguero National Park (named after the turtles that nest there), Barra del Colorado National Wildlife Refuge and the Avarios del Caribe Sloth Refuge take you into both a literal and spiritual wilderness. The coastal cities of Puerto Viejo and Limon offer a variety of accommodations, their own nightlife adventures, and access to pristine shorelines as far as the eye can see.
