Puerto Viejo evokes the idea of natural paradise positioned between the Caribbean Sea and the Talamanca Mountain Range. Time here moves at a slower pace, at reggae rhythm that motivates visitors to relax and enjoy such a unique destination, whose main attraction lies in its pristine beaches and an interesting cultural mesh.
The area’s main attractions include Cahuita National Park, which protects one of the largest coral reefs in the country, Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge which embraces beaches such as Punta Uva, Playa Chiquita and Manzanillo, indigenous communities that inhabit the Talamanca Mountains and of course, an Afro-Caribbean personality reflected in reggae music, local food and its inhabitants’ authenticity.
