Puerto Viejo Travel Guide

Puerto Viejo is the hottest spot on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. And I'm not just talking about the weather. Puerto Viejo is farther down the road from Cahuita, it's but much more popular, with a livelier atmosphere and more ongoing development. Much of this is due to the many surfers who come here to ride the town's famous and fearsome Salsa Brava wave, and only slightly mellower Playa Cocles beach break. Nonsurfers will appreciate excellent swimming beaches, plenty of active adventure options, nearby rainforest trails, and some great local and international restaurants. Read More
