Facing the Caribbean Sea, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is our favourite destination on Costa Rica's eastern coast. Its laidback vibe enchants surfing and yoga enthusiasts alike. Imagine amazing waves, turquoise waters, fine beaches, palm trees, and reggae music in the background! But it's not just the natural gifts that attract us to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. It's the people and their beautiful culture. You'll find a good mix of indigenous people and Afro-Caribbean residents, living in harmony with the many different nationalities that have decided to settle down here.
