Puerto Viejo is a small town stretched on the Caribbean coastline of Costa Rica, close to the Panama boarder. The town is very popular by surfers and backpackers. Many hostels, restaurants, bars and tour operators can be found here. You can reach Puerto Viejo by bus from the Panama border or from San Jose, passing Puerto Limón.

In the evening there is a handicraft market in the centre and many bars try to lure the tourists with happy hours.

The beaches are long and sandy, and the close reefs create great surfing spots. Behind the sandy beaches the rainforest started immediately. Much wildlife can be found and rainforest tours are offered by dozens of tour operators.

Surfing the Caribbean

Warning: This entry is slightly graphic and, although I've tried to keep it somewhat light-hearted, you might want to avoid it if you get queasy easily.After a late night in town, both Dave and I woke up relatively early to check out the surf at Playa Cocles. A few people had told us that the previous day the surf was 8-10 ft, and we were more than a little bit skeptical. Shallow, hollow beach breaks are pretty scary even at half that size if they have any power, and when we scoped it out the...

Welcomed with a genuine Caribbean vibe.  Stayed at an awesome spot (Agapi, Thank you Taso and Cecillia).  Ate good food.  Surfed some good waves.  Eric got some good stiches.  And eventually some good crutches.  All in all, good times!

If you are going to travel Costa Rica, you should definately do the caribbean coast. I was a bit weary to go because of all of the fisherman thievery stories, but I went and had an amazing time. You really get that Caribbean feel. Puerto Viejo was an old fisherman town, but is now developing into a more touristic town - but still very cheap and chill. You will see rasta men walking around and lots of hippies. They have good reggae music and excellent food. The beaches are outstanding. We rent...
