Has anyone been to Puerto VIEGO, COSTA RICA AND WHAT IS IT LIKE?

Question

Am considering moving from USVI to Costa Rica so am looking for info on people's travels in that area of C.A.

Answer 1

For me Puerto Viejo is one of the best places in  Costa Rica for vacation.  Excelents beaches, good and affordable accomodations and food.  Eventhough the use of light droges like marihuana is common, it is not a dangerous place.  it is like a bit of Jamaica in Costa Rica.

For more information about this place, you can visit http://www.puertoviejo.net

Go there, yo won't be dissapointed.

Answer 2

Do you mean Puerto Viejo?  On the Caribbean side ??  If so  :\

It's below Limon, the biggest port on the Carib side.  Considered a very dangerous city. Puerto Viejo is a popular tourist area. Good food (Jamaican style), and so I've heard pretty druggy.  

The Tico Times is the weekly newspaper in English.  You can access it on line to get more info.

I live on the Pacific side in Golfito.  It's ther town on the inside of a double gulf.  Very pretty here  too.
