From Puerto Limón · Costa Rica
Three words missing from every Costa Rica postcard: Jungle. Cacao. Calypso.
Limón is not the palm-lined beach of the brochure. It is tropical rainforest. Canals with sloths at the water's edge. Cacao roasted over fire. Drums on Sunday.
We are from here. For nearly two decades we have been crafting custom journeys from Puerto Limón, with our own vessels, certified diving equipment, and guides who know every root in the mangrove.
— Eduardo Fernández Jiménez, founder. CRV S.A.

Our story →Why Limón
01
From the great-grandparents who arrived from Jamaica to build the Atlantic Railway. Limón sounds different.
02
The language of indigenous peoples still resonates in Talamanca. Trails, cacao ritual, food cooked in bijao leaves.
03
Before the bagged beans, it was currency and medicine. Here they still roast it as they did three hundred years ago.
What travelers say
Tony was so great, he made our experience wonderful. He has a lot of knowledge about the region, culture and knows how to deliver the information in a professional way.
Spent about an hour and a half on the river with Captain Eddie and saw quite a bit of wildlife including sloth, alligators, monkeys, and exotic birds.
