Highlights
It is best to take this experience on your first days here since you will learn a lot about the area, things to do here and places to visit, so you can decide what you want to do for the remainder of your vacation here. I enjoy sharing my knowledge about animals, this area and it's unique culture. We will first visit The Cliff, a special place with breathtaking views of the ocean. On the hike to there and back we may see sloths and monkeys. At the Cliff you can take some amazing photos, it’s the perfect instagram opportunity. Then we'll drive around the town so you will get to know where is what. We will then visit Iguana Project, protected area where iguanas are raised to be released into the forest. This project is in a Bri Bri farm, so you will also learn about medicinal plants and Bri Bri culture. After that we will go to the waterfalls, a magical place in the woods, where we will relax and swim in the waterfall pool, share drinks and chat about Puerto Viejo and Pura Vida!

Itinerary
Our first destination is The Cliff. This is the place where magnificent pictures could be taken. We will do a little hike on a beach-jungle trail to this beautiful viewpoint. The walk is not difficult or long, there are just two easy steps up and the top is breathtaking with stunning views of ocean and the area. This is a perfect instagram photo opportunity!
Pick up time around 10 am, transportation to Cocles. I will pick you up at your Hotel or Airbnb in Puerto Viejo area in a comfortable air conditioned car, and we’ll start our experience
We will drive trough and shortly stop at some locations in Puerto Viejo town when I will share with you my recommendations about restaurants, places to go, things to do, and also practical things like ATMs, banks, rentals etc. You will learn which beaches are good for surfing, which for swimming and which for snorkelling, where are the places where you can spot animals, where is the best Caribbean restaurant and where to go if you are craving sushi, and where to dance the night away. You will also learn about local culture, lifestyle and history of Puerto Viejo.
Transportation to Kekoldi Indigenous reserve
Transportation to Bri Bri waterfalls with a brief stop at the supermarket where I’ll buy drinks to share at the waterfalls.
Then we will go to the Iguana Project, breeding and releasing green iguana sanctuary, located in the Kekoldi indigenous Bri Bri area, where you can see free iguanas close-by. You will also learn about Bri Bri’s culture and medicinal plants used by BriBris and meet Juana, BriBri lady who started this project.
Then we will go to the Bri Bri Waterfall, the magical place in the woods, where we will relax, swim in the waterfall pool, have beers (or some other drink) and talk about Puerto Viejo and Costa Rica.

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.
