Jungla, Naturaleza y Vida Silvestre

Se considera Costa Rica el país con la mayor biodiversidad del mundo, no solo por su ubicación entre las Américas, sino también por su alta cantidad de áreas protegidas. La zona de Puerto Viejo tiene una de las áreas más espéctaculares en el país, y algunas son incluso de importancia internacional. La zona incluye varias áreas protegidas como el Parque Nacional Cahuita y el Refugio Gandoca-Manzanillo.

Aquí se puede ver muchos perezosos y monos así como una variedad enorme de aves. En la temporada adecuada, las tortugas vienen a la playa para el desove. La flora es igual de interesante con flores espectaculares y muchas plantas interesantes y coloridas. En el mar hay peces coloridos y delfínes para ver durante el snorkel, el buceo o un tour de pesca.

Firstly, thank you for your information and links. They have been so helpful.

I was wondering if you would recommend ziplining in this Puerto Viejo area? We want to fit it in somewhere on our travels to Costa Rica but I am not sure where.

We are coming from San Jose (we are going to have a couple of day trips out of that location - not sure exactly what at this time). We are taking an 8 day tour including some central/Pacific stops. After our tour we want to spent 2 days in Tortugero followed by 3-4 days in Puerto Viejo. We are also considering going for day trip to Panama. We would like to take the rafting trip back to San Jose too.

How I could book these to include transportation. Also; would you recommend a rental car in Puerto Viejo? We want the most adventurous ziplining - what would you suggest? It can be in another area.

I can't speak to how the Caribbean ziplining compares to others, I've heard good things but it isn't the biggest in the country or anything. It is quite close to Puerto Viejo though which is nice since some of the others, e.g. from San Jose, require a long transport first.

Booking a couple days in Tortuguero is an excellent idea. The Tortuguero package that we recommend can be booked with different start and end points so you could have them pick you up in San José and drop you in Puerto Viejo at the end. As you've discovered the rafting trip works that way too so it's a great idea to book it on the day you leave Puerto Viejo and then you'll end up in San Jose.

I personally don't think a rental car is needed for Puerto Viejo. The whole area from Puerto Viejo south to Manzanillo along the beach is quite flat and quite bikeable and bike rental are everywhere and cheap. There are also lots of taxis, local buses (albeit not too frequent) and other options too such as golf carts, tuktuks. The local transport page has more info.

This isn't really the zone for that...that would be something you'd find near Monteverde, Arenal or the Central Valley from San Jose.

What a fantastic, informative website. I have just discovered this and so much information available, I will certainly read on. My wife and I are travelling from the UK for 2 weeks in Costa Rica in March 2019 ( not long to wait now!!) . We are touring around staying in 5 locations in total, ending our stay with 6 nights in Peurto Viejo. Pure Vida!

Yes, pretty much all the tours run daily year round. Some tours at slow periods don't run if they don't have enough people but July and August are actually one of the busier times of the year. Enjoy!

I'm getting married in December in the Puerto Viejo area, and am looking for a manicurist. A saw several spa treatments listed, but no nails. Any local contacts? I was hoping I wouldn't have to go to Limon and back for this.

General Costa Rica Question: Are Attractions open on Easter?

We'll be moseying back to San Jose on Easter Sunday (April 4, 2010) and want to swing by Poas Volcano National Park and one of the nearby coffee plantations. Are attractions usually open on the holiday?

Thank you!

What are people saying about us?

Doug Dosdall from Puerto Viejo

Semana Santa (Easter) is the biggest week of the year for tourism in Costa Rica. It's the week the locals are all traveling. So yes everything should pretty much be open. The only thing you might have trouble finding is a cold beer. There are restrictions on alcohol sales over Easter weekend.

mountain bikes

So far...no one has opened a mountain bike shop with good bikes. I think that is a good idea. The bikes we have ridden are not at all good for mountain biking! Lots of beach cruisers with rust on them though! Oh..maybe a few that don't have rust! But...not many! Good luck! Have fun anyway!`

surfing lessons

I just returned from a week in Puerto Viejo. As an "older" woman traveling alone, I had the best vacation I've ever had there. The highlight was taking surf lessons for the first time from Hershel Lewis at "caribbean surf school and tours" His cell phone: 8357-7703. Lonely Planet recommended him and they were absolutely right: He is an AWESOME teacher, really clear, careful, motivating and encouraging. He worked very hard to find the perfect waves and get me surfing and I loved it! He's also a singer with a wonderful reggae album.

Two day rafting trip

I just got back from CR. The rafting trip was AWESOME! I must recommend that you do the overnight trip. You get to do so much more than the one day trip and get to go through several more miles of river. We were lucky enough to be the only two on the overnight trip and ended up with three personal guides, who made us several meals including a candle light dinner overlooking the river.

Pacuare River Rafting

I did the Pacuare 1 day River Trip some years ago and I still remember this as one of the most memorable vacation days of my life. For almost the entire time on the river, we saw no sign of human habitation -- just pure jungle with lots of birds, monkeys, etc. Even if river rafting doesn't neccesarily appeal to you, this is a spectacular way to see Costa Rican nature.
