Take a trip down a road less traveled to a coastal region known for incredibly scenic beaches, rainforests chock full of fascinating flora and fauna, and local Caribbean culture that offers guests a relaxing respite, uniquely rich cuisine, and charming artisanal crafts.
From May to November, during Costa Rica's green season, the Caribbean Coast sees less rain and more sun, making Puerto Viejo and the surrounding areas a beautiful alternative to popular Pacific Coast locales. Guests are blessed with world-class beaches in a calming, quiet environment where nature is relatively untouched. Also, for those wanting to see sloths in their own habitat, there is no better place than the rainforests of the region, located only a short walk from the glassy waves and sparkling sands.
