Puerto Viejo (4)
photo by Ben Kucinski

A popular destination in Costa Rica, frequented by all types of tourists, but especially by surfers. Salsa Brava is the most powerful wave in Costa Rica and it is the next best thing after the Bonzai Pipeline of Hawaii.

Some of the best beaches in Costa Rica can be found here: Playa Chiquita, Playa Negra and Punta Uva, with activities for everyone.

When tired of laying on the beach, you can explore the wildlife and visit the Cahuita National Park and the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge.
