Living In the Puerto Viejo Area (Punta Uva and Playa Chiquita, 2017)
We cover the south-eastern area of Costa Rica, from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo. Puerto Viejo and, to a lesser extent, Manzanillo, will appeal to the youthful and those in the mindset of partying and chilling with a few rums, beers and spliffs. Punta Uva is definitely the best beach experience in the region and the closest it gets to a typical white sand beach of the Caribbean. Playa Cocles is the nearest good beach to Puerto Viejo and is used for surfing, but the waves are tame compared with Costa Rica's Pacific side. Playa Chiquita is between Uva and Cocles both in distance and stature. We snorkelled in Punta Uva, but Chiquita also has a reef to explore. You have only to go about 10 metres to have a good snorkel in Punta Uva. The water depth varies, and there are a few good small canyons to view depth. We saw a sting ray and a number of fish species, which made it worthwhile.

Welcome to PUERTO VIEJO! Costa Rica's Hidden Gem
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a bit of an undiscovered beach town gem on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
We spent a day showing you around starting out with our great open air AirBNB in the middle of the jungle just outside of the town.
We then heading into town, walking along Black Beach (Playa Negra), flying our drone while we go. On our way into town we discover in old barge in the water, sunken to create a breakwater.
After walking along the water for awhile, we head into town to get some lunch and find a cute cafe/bookstore called Cafe Rico.
Afterwards we head back to the water where we spot a sunken sailing ship just off the shore.

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a town in southeast Costa Rica, on the Caribbean coast. It’s known for the Salsa Brava surf break and beaches like black-sand Playa Negra. The Jaguar Rescue Center rehabilitates wild cats and other animals. Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge has rainforest, wetlands and mangroves. To the north, Cahuita National Park protects a large coral reef and has a shipwreck dive site.
Puerto Viejo is the largest tourist destination on Costa Rica's small Caribbean coast. Other nearby communities are Cahuita, Cocles, Punta Uva and Manzanillo . The vibe here is laid-back, Caribbean-style with a great diversity of people living here and visiting here.
Playa Negra, the paradise for surfers.
Known for its world-class waves and breaks, Playa Negra is a surfer's paradise. Famous as the filming location for the cult classic, Endless Summer II, this beach sits along the northwestern region of Guanacaste along the northern Pacific coast. But this small beach community has more to offer than just its surfing breaks. From great hotels, resorts and budget lodges to renowned cafes and local delicacies, Playa Negra has a little something to offer every visitor. Enjoy the laid-back Tico lifestyle here while escaping the hustle of other surf-centric communities along the Pacific Coast. Those staying here will also be just a short drive away from Marino Las Baulas National Park, which is a famous nesting ground for the leatherback turtles.

Shouts out to the wonderful BriBri indigenous people that opened their home to me and my fam. The experience at the BriBri settlement was memorable to say the least.

Fin de semana en el Caribe de mi país, El mar estaba muy bravo, fuimos y buscamos la playa mas tranquila para disfrutar y por supuesto documentarla. Para mi la mejor es Punta Uva, siempre he estado acostumbrado a ir a las tradicionales y no conocía esta maravillosa playa. Sin embargo tambien en Puerto viejo hay unas piscinas naturales que están solo buenas.

Top 10 Things To Do in Costa Rica – Travel Guide Puerto Viejo
Costa Rica is an amazing place with a warm culture and with many attractions to choose from. We narrowed it down to our top 10 favorite things to do. Honestly, we could stay in Costa Rica, making the most of everyday for years and still not do it all! Since we sold and donated all of our things so that we could go on a full-time travel journey around the world, it was really difficult to part with Costa Rica and not just stay for good! Costa Rica definitely has won a piece of our hearts! Costa Rica is the perfect place for any type of vacation from wild adventure to ultimate luxury! Trips filled with flying high in the tree canopy on a zipline tour, freediving the clear blue seas, saving the turtles, going for a surf or just taking it easy relaxing in a luxurious bungalo, Costa Rica has it all! We spent the majority of our Costa Rica adventure in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Everything from the diverse culture, to the delectable cuisine, to the variety of activities to indulge in while in this beautiful place, the vibrancy of Costa Rica seems completely endless and makes for a once in a lifetime trip!
