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.

Jaguar Rescue Center in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica
While traveling the world we had the opportunity to visit the Jaguar Rescue Center in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.What a fantastic experience and we are glad we put this on our schedule while traveling through Costa Rica. We lived in Costa Rica for one month and visited many different National Parks, &, hiked various jungle areas. In regards to seeing a variety of animals, this was in the top one or two places we had the opportunity to visit. We really got the feeling that the Jaguar Rescue Center did everything in their power to rehabilitate the animals and get them back into the wild. Obviously, there were occasions where that was just not possible, many times because of humans and their treatment of these different animals. It was pretty shocking why some of these animals were being treated. One monkey was chained by the neck for 20 years only being fed rice and beans. The Tucan in the video couldn't even swallow when he got to the rescue center. The sloths both young and old were adorable. They were feeding the young sloths through a syringe. If you are visiting Southern Costa Rica make sure to visit the Jaguar rescue center, you'll be glad you did.
