Frequently Asked Questions
At the terminal of Costa Rica's main Caribbean outlet, a five-minute walk from downtown. Few Central American calls are this convenient, though for many passengers the day will play out elsewhere, on lagoon water or deep in the jungle.
Wander the grid of a dozen or so streets that makes up the centre. Parque Vargas, planted with towering palms, borders the waterfront; look up and you may spot a sloth in the branches, a first encounter with local wildlife without leaving the pavement.
Rice and beans simmered in coconut milk and spicy patí, signatures of the province's Afro-Caribbean culture, served in the sodas, small family restaurants. The municipal market also overflows with pineapples, mangoes and unfamiliar root vegetables.
The Tortuguero canals. Departure is from Moín, a few kilometres from the terminal, and flat-roofed boats push into a network of waterways lined with dense vegetation. Two to three hours are enough to understand why the country made nature a national identity.
Howler monkeys whose call rolls like distant thunder, toucans, caimans motionless at the waterline, herons lifting off in a rustle of wings, sloths curled in the forks of trees. The guide regularly cuts the engine, and then the lagoon starts to speak.
The Veragua reserve, about 45 minutes away, combining canopy walkways, a hummingbird garden, a frog vivarium and an aerial tram descending into the vegetation. It is a structured immersion, easier to manage with children than a long boat trip.
Yes. A sanctuary to the south takes in and treats orphaned or injured sloths before releasing them, and the guided visit lets you observe the country's two species, two-toed and three-toed, at very close range.
At Cahuita, where a coastal trail separates blond sand from tall trees, with a good chance of meeting capuchin monkeys and crab-eating raccoons. It is the option to choose if you want the sea rather than the forest.
The colón, though the US dollar is widely accepted. Spanish is spoken and, in this province, a Caribbean English creole inherited from the Afro-Antillean communities who came to work on the railway and the banana plantations.
February-March and September-October are the driest stretches on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, which follows a different calendar from the rest of the country. Expect humidity in any season: it is the price of that vegetation.
