About the Site

Puerto Viejo Satellite is the most comprehensive and most popular website covering Costa Rica's South Caribbean region stretching from Cahuita to the Panama Border. This district is also known as Talamanca which is why we call our local news source The Talamanca News.

The site was primarily built by Doug Dosdall of Doh Media Internet Solutions. Doug is a frequent visitor to the area and landholder who one day wants to build his dream house down there. But meanwhile is staying connected to the community through the net.  Many members of the Puerto Viejo community have contributed to it's success but especially Colin Brownlee over at Banana Azul who has found time to work with me closely to build up the site all the while building his beautiful new hotel!

The site's goals are to provide a much upgraded and comprehensive information source for the area. A single place where people can go and find a map, local news, transportation information, weather info,  information on how to support the local community and the environment and more. Finally if we can't answer your questions, then other members of the community or other visitors can on the forum.

While a basic listing on the map is free, the site is not cheap to run, so local businesses support the site by purchasing a link to their websites or by being featured as a Puerto Viejo Top Pick.  There are also advertising options for non-area businesses on the top left banner or below the Top Picks in the right column. Please see the dohmedia.com advertising page or contact us for more information.

And if you have a suggestion to improve the site, other information you'd like to see or something to contribute, please do contact us. We'd love to hear from you!
