About
Found on Costa Rica, Plaza Puerto Limón draws visitors to the Caribbean coast at Av. 5 in Limón. San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde all lie within reach, so the plaza can be folded into a wider Costa Rican itinerary.

A 4.1 out of 5 average across 385 reviews gives Plaza Puerto Limón a solid standing among visitors to the Caribbean coast. The plaza serves as a gathering point in Limón, where travellers pass through on the way to Puerto Viejo and the southern Caribbean beaches. That mix of local trade and passing visitors keeps the atmosphere grounded rather than resort-like.
Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, and a meal in Limón rarely strays far from that tradition. Green and leatherback turtles nest on Costa Rica's Caribbean beaches, and olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings, so the coast around Limón rewards anyone travelling south.
Costa Rica has active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú, and Cerro Chirripó is its highest peak, giving the country a dramatic interior beyond the coast. The plaza's 4.1 out of 5 average across 385 reviews reflects a venue that serves both locals and travellers passing through Limón.
