Puerto Viejo de Talamanca offers a wealth of entertainment by the sea, attracting a lively international crowd of revelers while maintaining a bright and breezy coastal charm with a local feel. Branching out from its long-held reputation as a surfer's paradise, the town's seaside areas offer thriving, hedonistic nightlife spots and a good number of fusion restaurants to supplement the attraction of the big and powerful waves that arrive on the beaches here. Head just off the main commercial roads, and holidays in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca go down a couple of gears, with local families savoring life in one of many small eateries and pleasant town squares. Exploring the surrounding areas of rainforest and farmland, visitors catch sights of howler monkeys, tropical birds, and abundant fruit trees. Make your Costa Rica itinerary with Inspirock to find out what to see and where to go.
