Puerto Viejo Beach, Short Break

Start & end in San Jose 3 days Up to 30

About this trip

Three days on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, based in Puerto Viejo for two nights. It's a spot where rainforest runs right down to the beach, and the pace is easy going.

The town has a distinct Afro-Caribbean character, in the food, the music and the buildings, quite different from the Pacific side of the country. There's enough nature and coastline nearby to fill your days, with room to add your own adventure if you want it.

What you'll do

  • Two nights based in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast
  • Time on the area's beaches
  • Explore surrounding rainforest
  • Take in the local Afro-Caribbean food, music and architecture
Good to know
  • A short, relaxed break rather than a packed itinerary
  • Partially guided, so some time is yours to structure
