Travelers can glimpse spectacular wildlife in Cahuita National Park or the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge, which border the town to its north and south, respectively. Tropical forest surrounds the village and palm trees line the beach, adding to Puerto Viejo's natural beauty. If you're looking to chill a little, party a little and eat a little, you've come to the right place. Nearby you'll find rainforest fruit and cacao farms and wide-open beaches. Rastafari culture has a firm foothold in the town, and many Rastas sell handmade jewelry and other wares along the town's vibrant roadside. With its blend of Afro-Caribbean descendants, expat Europeans and indigenous Costa Ricans, Puerto Viejo charms visitors with a unique mix of people and cultures. Stylish eateries serve global fusion, and intentionally rustic bamboo bars pump dancehall and reggaeton. It's known for the Salsa Brava surf break and beaches like black-sand Playa Negra, but this burgeoning party town is no longer a destination only for intrepid surfers it's bustling with tourist activity. The relaxed, seaside town is framed by jungle, turquoise seas, banana plantations and scenic rivers. Located on about an hour south of Limon, Puerto Viejo is the center of activity between the smaller villages of Cahuita and Manzanillo. Clear water, coconut palms, great surf and a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere make Puerto Viejo a favorite among travelers. There are two gorgeous National Parks nearby - Cahuita and Manzanillo, and it rains more than on the Pacific side, which is why it is so lush and green with the rainforest coming down to the sea. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a small coastal town in Caribbean Costa Rica in the province of Limon.
