Costa Rica’s Southern Caribbean is truly a wonderful place to visit with its laidback environs, spicy piquant food, and unique Afro-Caribbean culture. This region with its rich flavors has become a tourist favorite for those who are looking to relax and have some fun in the sun. Get to Puerto Limon, the capital of Limon province and you will find yourself in a completely different world, from the one you left back in San Jose.
Explore any of the towns along Costa Rica’s Southern Caribbean Coast and you will appear in what can only be described as mini Jamaica’s with dreadlocked Rastafarians, reggae and calypso music being played in the streets, delicious Costa Rican Creole cooking aromas, and a confusing mix of a Spanish – English dialect that is spoken here. These towns are an experience in themselves. The visitors also get the chance to come into contact with many indigenous Indian tribes that have lived in this region for hundreds of years.
Go to the gorgeous Cahuita National Park and Gandoca-Manzanillo Refuge, home to amazing coastal rainforests and stunning underwater marine life and coral reefs. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca offers amazing beaches and it is home of the famed Salsa Brava. It is an ideal place to kickback and have a good time.
If you are looking for a quieter time, there are plenty of remote areas in the region, where one can stay literally in the middle of the jungle and still just a few minutes away from the coast, Manzanillo is one of these amazing small towns. All inclusive resorts offer a tranquil haven to relax as there are no other tourist facilities in the immediate area.
