Limón Province

Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, with a distinctive charm of canal rainforests, turtle nesting and Afro-Caribbean culture.

Limón Province lies in eastern Costa Rica, stretching along the Caribbean coast, with a hot, humid climate and dense rainforest and waterways. In the north, Tortuguero National Park can only be reached by boat or small plane and is known for boat trips through its waterways to see wildlife and for sea turtle nesting in summer and autumn. In the south, Cahuita National Park and the Puerto Viejo area offer coral reefs, beaches and a strong Afro-Caribbean culture. The weather on the Caribbean coast differs from that on the Pacific side, and September and October are often sunnier. It can be reached by road from San José, and the port of Limón is also a cruise-ship stop.
