Costa Rica´s Best Guide Online Magazine

The South Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is simply a wondrous place to visit, offering awesome surf beaches, delicious food and an Afro-Caribbean culture. This is a different feel than the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica or the Central Plateau Greater Metropolitan area. Most of the people here are of Afro-Caribbean descent and come from Jamaica and some from other Caribbean islands. Some came to build the railroad and others to work on the banana plantations. These banana plantations still operate South of Lim ó n and provide exports from this province. Calipso and reggae music can be heard in the streets and the delicious aromas of local Caribbean cuisine fill the air. The language is mostly Spanish, but sometimes a dialect of English called Patois is heard. The town of Puerto Viejo and its neighboring towns welcome all foreigners with open arms, and provide visitors with shopping, dining and unforgettable experiences.
