Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica

Ecotourism: Endless beaches and turtle paradise

On the North Caribbean Coast Limón city is the touristic center. However, green turtle’s nesting on Tortuguero National Park and bass', shad’s and other species’ sport fishing at Barra del Colorado National Wild Life Refugee represent the main attraction of the region. It is complimented with the river channel’s system, which connects Moin Port with Barra del Colorado, and has become a singular attraction and the only way of transportation. The Southern Caribbean coast shows a country-unique combination of beaches, natural resources and afro American culture in Cahuíta, Puerto Viejo and Gandoca Manzanillo. Cahuíta National Park and Gandoca Manzanillo Reserve are worldwide recognized, not only because of their natural beauty but because they are becoming unique conservation places in almost the whole Caribbean.
