So you will witness the spectacle of cormorants fishing close to the shore and you can enjoy all the beauty of this deserted coast, a black pearl between the cobalt of the ocean and the emerald green of the vegetation that surrounds it. We recommend going to the town through the beach walking along the shoreline. The town of Puerto Viejo is endowed with all the services and can be reached from the capital by bus and easily from our house by foot or by bike in a few minutes. Among them there’s our Playa Negra, and then Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva, Manzanillo and many others. The beaches around the pueblo are among the most beautiful and well-known in Costa Rica.
