5A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with an Incredible Guide
Ariel was absolutely incredible. We did both the cacao tour and the night tour with him in Puerto Viejo, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and informative, but what really sets him apart is how engaging and personable he is. Ariel has genuine, personal relationships with the Bribri people, which made the cacao tour feel authentic and deeply meaningful — not like a typical tourist experience. You could tell there was real trust and connection there, and that made the entire experience even more special. During the night tour, his energy was just as strong. He was funny, interesting, and passionate about what he was teaching us. He made the jungle come alive in a way that was both educational and exciting. We learned so much, but it never felt like a lecture — it felt like an adventure with a friend who truly loves what he does. If you’re in Puerto Viejo, booking with Ariel is a must. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip.
5Incredible Experience !
We had an amazing time doing the cocao tour with Ariel ! We learned so much history about The Bri Bri indigenous culture , we learned so much about nature that we never knew existed ! We got to experience the richness of CostaRica’s Jungle ! They cooked us a meal and placed it in a leaf for us to eat , taught us some words from the bri bri and even showed us the medicinal properties of the plants ! Making the Cocao was such an amazing experience , and seeing the effort put into something so delicious was really rewarding ! I would definitely recommend this tour. !

My friends and I had a wonderful day on the farm and at the waterfalls. We learned so much about BriBri culture and chocolate making. The family who owns the farm is so warm and welcoming, and the lunch they prepared was delicious!

About Limón
Limón is Costa Rica's main Caribbean port, an Afro-Caribbean city on a humid coast and the gateway to Tortuguero's canals and the Cahuita reef.
Puerto Limón is Costa Rica's principal Caribbean port, a cargo harbour and provincial capital where the coast curves beneath green hills and rain clouds. Many of its people descend from Jamaican and other West Indian workers who came in the nineteenth century to build the railway to San José, and their English-influenced Creole, music and cooking shape the city. Parque Vargas, a palm-shaded park, runs along the seafront.
Top-ranked sights in Limón: Tortuguero Canals.
