Limon Costa Rica


Expert Article By: Steven Hollstein

The famous east coast of Costa Rica with places like Cauhita, Puerto Limon, Tortugeros and Barra del Colorado is a completely different thing then the west coast.

You can fly here or take highway 32 from San Jose and enjoy the amazing scenery while driving. You can drive through Brauilo Carillo National Park and straight down to limon or go north and pass by the Volcano Barva, followed by Puerto Viejo and Sarapiqui.

The temperature stays around high 20s all year but due to rain almost the whole year, the clouds will give some protection from the burning sun. The best time on the year (to avoid rain) is in February to Mars, and August to October.

You'll find restaurants scattered all along the road if you feel the urge for eating.

Lim?n is also the place where almost all of Costa Rica?s bananas are shipped when exported.

Crime has been found somewhat higher then on the west coast so beware.

The Beaches

Four kilometers north of puerto Lim?n are two small beaches. Playa Bonita with fine yellow sand, palm trees and some hotels. The water is not perfect for tourists though. Playa Portete has a dock where local fishermen land with their catches. Even further north is Moan where the government built a industrial harbor for freight ships back in the 1980?s. Going south you'll find the most visited place, the beach Cauhita.

Cauhita is a quite large village with many thousands of inhabitants and is a hot target for backpacking tourists. It can be hard to find a rental in Cauhita. White san beaches fringed with coconut palms, a relaxing atmosphere and a calm Caribbean way of life attract a lot of tourists.

There are also several smaller beaches close by Cauhita.

Even further south Talamanca is the place to go. Close by are Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva.

Sights of Limon

Cahuita National Park. Over 1000 hectares of land with more then 14Km of beaches, all with nice mixes of coconut palm trees, mangrives and dense forrests,Snorkeling is offered all over the coast for those who would like to try it out.

In the south the Gandoca-Manzanillo Game Preserve is of interest. You can visit punta mona (Monkey Point), said to have received its name from Columbus himself.

Also plan a visit to Tortugeros and a trip on the canals. You'll most likely have to set aside 1-2 days for this trip as it is a long way to go. Make sure you bring clothes to change (after rain), insect repellant and clean drinking water and you?ll have a much nicer time!

Not only will you find an extreme jungle here, you may also be lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle or two.

Parque Vargas in Puerto Limon with its tall attractive palms and other tropical trees, flowers and animals close to the waterfront is a pleasant way of enjoying the beauty of the tropics.

Eating

The food on the east coast is everything from local specialties, normal Costa Rican food, Caribbean food to French and Chinese. Be aware of the fact that not all food is compatible with all tourists!

Bars & Nightclubs

Night open bars and cantinas can always be found around the central parks in almost all Costa Rican towns. Puerto Lim?n is no exception. But many of these places in Lim?n should be avoided by tourists and single women should not be out after dark themselves without company.

Lim?n with Cauhita is different from other beaches. The much greener water on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica makes a nice contrast to the bluish west coast water.

You'll often find larger waves on the east coast as well.

Resolved Question: How to reduce child support question?

Scenario: Father was paying around $450 a month in support for one child. Ex took him to court for more child support as it had been almost 4 years. He turned in his monthly 'gross income' and his support was reduce to by less than half. He is an insurance agent and his new wife is too in the same agency. Is it possible for him pay her more and reduce his salary, thus reducing his child support? He also owns a business where his mother works without pay. His new wife also owns it so it is possible that she takes the profit and he doesn't receive anything. He has a very nice 4 bedroom new home, a new truck, takes trips to the Caribbean often. Is this all legal for him to have all of this and not pay more child support. Is there something that can be done?

Voting Question: Adult daugther stealing for my mum ?

My sister is 29yrs old she works part time in gym but has no motive to get a job in teaching something she really wants to do. For years she has put her self in needless debt credit cards, store cards not paying uni fees and has always stolen mummy from my mum to pay for this lifestyle of trips to the caribbean etc. She would steal credit card or bank details from my mum and then steal the statements that come in the post. Or tamper with police reports or fraud papers that are sent until the truth eventually comes out. She has done it again spending £1000 on my mums credit card and I feel so let down. To see my mother cry breaks my heart as she is the strongest person i know and brought us up on her own not wanting a thing and she pays off her debt all the time. This is 6/7th time she has done this. My mum is 64yrs old she should be enjoying life. I have now brought a safe for my mum to put all purses and cards in and have taken my sisters debt card to monitor her spending giving her £10 per week. And spiliting her pay to pay back my mum and her debt I feel this is the last time I can help her am pregnant with my 1st child I need a healthy gran for my baby and ppl I can trust. If anyone has any serious ideas of how I can stop her doing this again I would be so grateful

Voting Question: My husband likes to hang out with his single friends at bars and nightclubs?

He likes going out with his single friends all the time, with or without me, he lies, and sometimes doesn't come home, we have been separated before,and he has even moved out before, but we always get back together, what should I think of his behavior, this has been going on for the last seven years, that we have been married, he is 35 now, and I am 33. But this has been the pattern since we we're dating when he was 27 and I was 25. We are childless. I know he thinks about his ex girlfriends who was a lot prettier and sexie than me,as she was hurt by him, and still single. I know he has seen her a few times since we have been married. Should I feel threatened?,.,,,,,,,,, I kind of fear the animosity this woman has against us. And my husband loves to drink, hang out and smoke a ton and marijuana with his hangout friends, he is a puerto rican surfer, and uses the fact that he claims himself to be a surfer as his rationale for hanging out all the time and drinking and drugging to excess, all he does when he hangs out is gossip about bullshit nonsense with his omedian, clown ass joker friends. He has a simple customer service job, and is pretty one dimensional, he enjoys drinking and hanging out and playing dominoes and doing nothing productive, which is common for his Caribbean roots.........we have no children, and often whe he goes onsirfing trips to other countries with his male only friends, I feel threatened, as no women or girlfriends are allowed along. I feel my marriage is suffering, as we have no children. He doesn't wear his ring often, should I be alarmed?...........also his ex girlfriend is on our ass sometimes and harrasses us at our homes,a dn our jobs, and all over Facebook, and vandalized our property, I don't know what to think of the entire situation.............

Resolved Question: Probability question: What is the probability that a flight is staffed by exactly 2 men and 7 women?

Air GoMango is a small airline that serves several Caribbean destinations. The company employs 10 pilots: 7 men, 3 women 33 flight attendants: 8 men, 25 women During a given trip, an aircraft must be staffed by 3 pilots and 6 flight attendants, chosen randomly. Case 2 c) If staff in the cockpit must be assigned separate responsibilities: 1) pilot, 2) copilot, and 3) communications officer, find the total number of ways to staff an aircraft for a given trip. I found this to be 797 448 960 (it is the right answer) d) What is the probability that a flight is staffed by exactly 2 men and 7 women? I thought that it would work doing (7P2*3P1*8C0*25C6 + 7P1*3P2*8C1*25C5+7P0*3P3*8C2*25C4) / 797 448 960 Since in the cockpit order matters (so I used permutations) but in the rest of the airplane order doesn't matter (combination). But I must be doing something wrong because I am not getting the right answer Thank you!

Resolved Question: Cheap countries to fly from the Washington DC area?

I have a friend inviting me to Mexico or an island in the Caribbean! They're flexible about location and I'd like to go somewhere new, so I'm not too into the idea of Mexico. Since our trip is being planned on extremely short notice (I have less than a month), there are only a few things I'm looking for. After that, the island you most recommend is a matter of opinion. I'm looking for somewhere I can get cheap airfare to, somewhere with good scuba diving, somewhere beautiful, somewhere backpacker friendly and somewhere fun! Vague, I know- but that gives you more to choose from and the opportunity to tell me why you chose that place! Thanks! :)
