COSTA RICA, “THE JEWEL OF CENTRAL AMERICA”



By Clay Larroy


Do you feel like it is time for a short vacation? Once you decide to travel, how good you plan the trip will help you feel comfortable and be comfortable at your destination. Not only will you feel less anxiety before the trip, but you can rest assured that once you arrive where you're going you will have a good understanding of what's going on there.  When you need to plan a vacation contact me!

Port of Call - Limon

On Costa Rica's Caribbean side, Limon, also called Puerto Limon, is an authentic and relatively non-touristy port known less for its faded low-slung city than for its incredible eco-tourism opportunities. Some of the best eco-tourism sights include an aerial tram ride over the canopy of a rain forest nature reserve or a small boat ride up the Tortuguero Canal, a winding system of connecting rivers through pristine wilderness. Cruise ships dock at a pier directly in downtown Limon, a walkable distance from most places in town. The pier can accommodate large vessels and is protected on one side by a sand bar. The harbor has an open-air cruise Welcome Centre but is primarily a commercial port used for much of Costa Rica's sea trade.

Shopping in Limon

There is no large shopping center but a cluster of stalls is available at the cruise ship terminal and at an open air market in the center of town. Most shops in town sell primarily to locals rather than tourists; however, some sell locally made crafts with a friendly and less aggressive sales style than most tourist markets.

Best Buy: Wood Carvings

Dining in Limon

Peace and Love Bread and Coffee - Italian cuisine with a Latin American flavor. Veronica's Place – excellent vegetarian and vegan food Pan Pay - popular breakfast spot on the beachfront
