This wonderful beach town on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica holds many surprises. With its laid back attitude and Caribbean life style, you can be assured of a relaxing Costa Rican holiday. Naturally, for those of us who like a more active holiday, Puerto Viejo has it all.

We stopped by at this nondescript Puerto Viejo pizza joint. It looked nothing special. We were there during the rainy season, so the town was closed and no tourists really. We found this place open, and had some pizza…. it was great! Here is just a pic of what the native Tica hotties look like there.

Going for 2 days, any hotel suggestions and things to do? My hotel suggestion is Banana Azul located about 1km north of town. Try to get the Red Frog Room if possible. Collin and Roberto are wonderful hosts.
Be sure to make it to the picture-post card beach beach at Punta Uva.
Eat dinner at El Loco Natural and Chili Rojo
Swim under the waterfall on the road to BriBri
Visit the “chocolate lady” and see (and taste) chocolare made from scratch
Hike around Manzanillo
Have a beer or Margarita at El Dorado
Swim in a warm waters of the caribbean

About the food here Puerto Viejo Costa Rica

The food here is so fresh and flavorful...I haven't had a meal, smoothie or other drink that I haven't liked! The breakfasts here are very good - nothing like fresh eggs and fruit from this verdant place. Gallo Pinto is what they call a typical Costa Rican breakfast - eggs, rice and beans, fresh fruit. There are variations at different restaurants and "Soda's" - a Soda is a small outdoor local eating place with a simple menu.
And the coffee.....they say here that Juan Valdez of Columbia drinks Costa Rican coffee! I have had a Mojito - the best ever, and a Pina Colada that was superb. Okay well maybe two. Most of the time, I receive the plate of food and forget to photograph the delectable delights. But fortunately, I remembered to get the camera out a few times. (photos)

We started construction only two weeks ago on the kitchen and office - which are being topped off this week- an incredible speed for a caribbean beach town. We drove to the port city of Puerto Limon friday to get some tiles at El Mundo de la Ceramica (world of tiles) and found the tile for the kitchen and bathrooms. They had every tacky tile you have ever seen in the world and of course with the perfect boarder to boot! Yes, here is where you find what will not sell anywhere else. Well after the salesman showed us the "BEST" we wondered through every stack and pile and found some pretty interesting stuff, for the floors some large tiles that look like concrete and the kitchen walls a off white with satin finish and for the bathroom walls a tile that kinda looks like bamboo streaks in a very light off green tint, it all came together pretty nice and we all felt the satisfying feeling of
Suspected Rapist Still Walking streets of Puerto Viejo

The serial rapist who judicial officials believe has preyed on at least seven women including a 16-year old girl is still walking the streets in Puerto Viejo, they said.Since 2003, eight women have reported rapes or attempted rapes in the Puerto Viejo area, said Bermúdez. Three of the reported rapes were this year, said the Limón judicial director.
Agents believe they know who the rapist is, said a judicial official Wednesday. But the one case that may have enough evidence for a conviction, hasn’t even gotten the suspect in preventative detention. Instead the suspect must simply sign in to the prosecutor every 15 days, said a court spokeswoman.

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.

This week a few of us skipped a day and a half of school and took a little trip down to Puerto Viejo! It was so much fun! It was a little mini vacation away from the vacation that we are already on. It was nice to get away from school for a day. I've decided that too much spanish can make a person go crazy. We took the bus down to Puerto Viejo on Tuesday after class and came back on Thursday morning. It was a nice long 4 hour bus ride... but definitely worth it.

Police arrested five migrants of African origin who had been abandoned by smugglers on the beach in Manzanillo, reported an official today.
The Security Ministry said in a statement that the incident took place last Wednesday, when police discovered five foreigners, allegedly from Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, who were walking in an unknown direction and with no identification documents.
Apparently, the five foreigners were abandoned on Manzanillo beach, near Puerto Viejo, and made to believe they were in Canada, presumably the final destination of the trip, the ministry explained.

Costa Rican lesser known Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo

Whenever anyone writes about Costa Rica they're usually referring to the west coast or the string of volcanoes. But I reckon the best place in Costa Rica is the little publicized Caribbean coast—untouched by mass tourism, no big resorts or group tourism, beaches that rival anything the 'traditional Caribbean' has to offer—and all without a hefty price tag.…
I know—I live here! Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a charming village stuffed with great restaurants, atmospheric bars, spectacular beaches and huge tracts of pristine rainforest. Whoever wants an affordable holiday with everything the Caribbean rainforest and coast have to offer will find it here…waking to howler monkeys, spotting toucans from your breakfast table, surfing, swimming, snorkelling in azure seas dotted with fishing pelicans, sloths sleeping on branches, morpho butterflies fluttering past…and so the list goes

On the eastern most Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the small surfing and hippy town of Puerto Viejo exists. I found it to be not too touristy here, but that was probably because it was low season. As opposed to the drunken centre of Bocas de Toro, the vibe we got here was very chilled out and easy going. We were told by another traveler that about a month earlier during Easter, the streets were crowded with people from San Jose, resulting in late night stabbings and drunken brawls. Lucky for us, we didn't find this out until we were somewhere else. Anyways, the beaches here are extremely beautiful, not to mention they had some pretty big surf. The only problem with the surf was, like pretty much everywhere else we surfed on this trip, the breaks were mainly shories. Jason had a few good sessions on the many palm fringed beaches along the south coast of town, while I sat on the beach in
