As a small piece of territory linking the North and South American continents, Costa Rica is considered to be in Central America. Costa Rica shares borders with Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. It is also bounded to the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the east by the Caribbean Sea. This country has magnificent volcanoes, lovely cloud forests, stunning river basins, and numerous beaches along its Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Puerto Limon, Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, and Manzanillo are all in Costa Rica’s Caribbean region, famed for its beaches and Afro-Caribbean culture. Popular destinations in the region include coral reefs, beaches with various colors of sand (yellow, gray, and black), and trees at both sea level and a modest altitude. Puerto Limon, the capital of Limon Province, is a hive of activity with a good blend of tourism and culture.
Everything Costa Rica has to offer, from ziplining to river tours, fantastic food to amazing beaches, and everything in between, can be found across the Limon Province.
