Límon, on a palm-fringed shore backed by mountains, has the best port of the Caribbean coast called Puerto Moin. Capital of the Afro-Caribbean culture in Costa Rica, Limon possesses dialects based on the English that have survived thanks to the natural barriers between the Central Valley and the Caribbean Coast. It was built on the site of an ancient Indian village, Cariari, where Columbus landed on his fourth and last voyage. Nearby you can swim at the idyllic palm fringed beaches or you can discover the wildlife on a cruise of the Tortuguero Canals. From Limon journey inland to the picturesque capital of San Jose or take the aerial tramway over the jungle to see more of its rich wildlife and exotic scenery.
