Explore the Best of Puerto Viejo

Visiting Puerto Viejo

As someone who recently visited Puerto Viejo, I can attest that there are plenty of amazing activities to enjoy. I highly recommend exploring Manzanillo Park, which offers stunning views of the ocean and the chance to see monkeys in their natural habitat. After hiking for about an hour and a half, you’ll come across Playa Pablo Mena, a private beach with crystal-clear water that’s perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

Visiting The Kekoldi Tribe

The Kekoldi Chocolate Tour was also a highlight of my trip. We visited the Bri Bri indigenous reserve, where we learned about traditional plant medicine and how to make chocolate from scratch. The tour also included a refreshing swim in beautiful waterfalls and a visit to an iguana farm where we got to see some of the biggest iguanas I’ve ever seen.

Visiting Black Sand Beaches

Playa Negra was another unique beach experience. The black sand felt like clay under my feet, and the views of the coast were stunning. We also hired a fisherman to take us to Punta Mona, a secluded island where we spent a few hours snorkeling and relaxing in crystal-clear waters

The Best Yoga Spots

As a yoga enthusiast, I was thrilled to discover the many studios in Puerto Viejo. My favorite was the Selina yoga hut by the beach, where I could hear the waves crashing as I practiced. Another great spot was the Amaser Yoga studio, which had incredible ocean views and a cafe for post-workout fuel.

Visiting The National Park

Lastly, don’t miss Cahuita National Park, where you can hike through the rainforest and enjoy a beautiful beach. Overall, my visit to Puerto Viejo was unforgettable, and I highly recommend all these activities to anyone planning a trip there.
