PORTS OF CALL - Panama Canal
Puerto Limon, Costa Rica
Columbus discovered this land on his fourth voyage to the Americas and was so impressed that he named it Costa Rica, or the rich coast. Puerto Limón is overflowing with natural wonders - towering mountains once thought to house gold and silver, magnificent rain forests containing more than 2,000 varieties of orchids, and of course, seductive, sun-drenched beaches.
Don't Miss
Glide across the canopy of the rain forest in a tram at the Braulio Carrillo National Park. It's a beautiful way to see the fragile ecosystem of the rain forest up close.
Fun Things To Do
- Head to the mountains on an off-road adventure in an all-terrain vehicle - TERRA-X6. Your adventure includes a visit to the small village of Bananito, an amazing drive through the forest, past cattle ranches and banana plantations and incredible ocean views.
- Absorb the tranquility of the Tortuguero canals as you float dreamily up to the north of Limón. Take in the fragrance of white ginger blossoms, lavender water hyacinths and the ilan ilan flower.
Sporting Adventures
Go white-water rafting or off-roading on an exciting rain forest adventure.
