  • 2A little off

    Alex was very thorough about digital communications, but once we were out on the water he seemed thoroughly uninterested in sharing information about the animals and the environment. He told folks in our group not to touch a specific tree but didn't say why (there were other people sitting on the tree). Pleasant but the whole thing felt "off," including the guys who hung around the hut where we met.

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.
