Costa Rica is one of Central America’s most popular tourist destinations. However, a vast majority of the country’s tourism buzz comes from its West Coast. Resorts dot the Pacific coastline of this long, thin country. People could be forgiven for thinking that Costa Rica doesn’t even have a Caribbean coast.
One of these alternatives to the West Coast is Puerto Viejo, a laid-back (some might label it charming) village with all the trappings of a great resort area: a picturesque collection of beaches lined with lush rainforest, airy restaurants and bars, and - best of all – reasonable prices on hotels.
In addition to beaches, Puerto Viejo also has adopted some...

You would never know there was a recession in Puerto Viejo with the number of projects currently underway. And on top of all the building, they are finally making progress in fixing the roads. Rumor has it that they are hoping to complete the pavment between Hone Creek and Puerto Viejo with final black top in September and October, as that is when there is the least chance of rain.

After my first trip to the projects in Puerto Viejo and Bambu I really got to see what they are doing. It’s amazing to see what a big difference they have made in the last few years, but there is still so much more they want to do, to help out. The people are so thankful for everything Tropical Adventures is doing for them and they are so happy to see them. That’s when I realized: Wow they are doing a great job and I can be a part of it for a few months.
Before working for Tropical Adventures I always wanted to volunteer, but I never really go the idea of paying for it. Why spend so much money, when you just want to help. There is actually a pretty simple explanation, well for Tropical Adventures there is. How can you help people when you don’t have the resources to do it?

College friends Emily Howell and Emily Eagen - "The Emilys," they called themselves - felt they had found Eden in Costa Rica. The young women had become pals at Antioch College in Ohio. When Howell ventured to Costa Rica for a semester abroad in 2000, Eagen paid a visit. The country is "better than anywhere," Eagen enthused to her family back in the Midwest. "I have found paradise."
One weekend during Eagen's visit, they rented an SUV and drove to a cabin near the beach in the tourist town of Puerto Viejo, a surfing and nightclub hot spot south of Limon. The Emilys must have felt no particular need to worry about safety. For decades, Costa Rica had been regarded by travelers as the safest Central American nation.
But that reputation was beginning to fray by 2000, especially in coastal towns like Limon. Stickups and carjackings of vacationers were increasing, al

On Wednesday, the court in Limon released the suspect who has accused of the murder of Carlos Navarro, known locally as Rulos.
The suspect, identified in the latest La Nación article by last name Lewis (but previously referred to by last name Mitchell) was initially ordered held in preventative detention for three months by a Bribri judge. He had been held since June 3. The prosecutor had said there was sufficient proof to hold him while the investigation proceeded but the Limon judge has taken a different view.
