Puerto Viejo: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a small town located on the Caribbean coast of southeastern Costa Rica, close to the Panamanian border.
My suggestion
This is the kind of town you should head for if you are looking to really get away from it all (by contrast to the very touristy Nicoya Peninsula), and it is the ideal place to go in Costa Rica if you want to devote your time to surfing and yoga.
Flagship beach resort of the Caribbean coast where English seems to be the main language.
My suggestion
If you like so-so festivals full of pseudo rastas then you're in the right place. The rest of you, don't bother, there are lots of other options in the area.

My suggestion
If you don't arrive by hire car, get a bicycle locally so that you can take full advantage of everything Puerto Viejo has to offer: wild plants and animals, and food as fresh as can be.
A small village in the province of Limon, famous for its food, both traditional and modern, and its lively reggae nights. It's where you really get to understand the expression " PURA VIDA ".
My suggestion
Leave the city behind and enjoy the good times and chance meetings that can happen in Puerto Viejo. Don't underestimate the spot, let yourself be guided by the salsa brava which surfs the village.
