Overview

Puerto Lim贸n is the biggest city on Costa Rica鈥檚 Caribbean coast, the capital of Lim贸n province, and a hardworking port that sits removed from the rest of the country. Cruise ships deposit dazed-looking passengers here between October and May, but around these parts, business is primarily measured by truckloads of fruit, not busloads of tourists. Aside from the cruise crowd,聽Lim贸n can be a good base for adventurous urban explorers.
