Why no info on Puerto Limon?
Hi I wonder Why not much info on Puerto Limon? This sucks. Puerto Limon is kind of like Colon in Panama but safer. I heard not too many Gringos go here. That is Great for my side being a 36 Year Old Polish American Gringo from Chicago. I am planning two trips to come up either one later this year and another one for Brazil early next year. Now I am changing my plans again thinking of going in october for my one month trip. It would be for the second week of October. First starting out in Costa Rica and trying to check the Carnaval in Puerto Limon that happens there the second week of October before October 12th. I would come for two days to do this then visit like Puerto Vijo and Sixaola plus places in the San Jose Metro area then off to Peru. Here is What I know on Puerto Limon>>>> Limon boasts a cultural diversity found nowhere else in Costa Rica,and is also a launching point for excursions to Tortuguero,Playa Bonita,and other Caribbean towns. At Night Taxis are advisable,the city has a reputation for crime. The annual October 12 Carnaval celebrating the Dia De La Raza>>> Aka Colombus Day now officially named Dia Da Las Culturas,demands attention as music, dancing,and drinking spill out into the streets for almost a week. Be back on Part 2 of this soon,Nibu Raphael.
Why no info on Puerto Limon part 2?
ORIENTATION AND PRACTICAL INFO>>>>> Like most major Costa Rican Cities,Puerto Limon is laid out in a grid section of north-south calles and east-wast avenidas,but finding street signs is nearly impossible. Orient yourself by the mercado municipal,AV. 2/3,C.3/4,where busesdrop passengers. All hotels and restaraunts are within a few blocks of the mercado. I will post more info on part 3 here I am looking for new info here. Be right back Gents,NIBU R.

Sorry on this again had to check out some things. OK Then This is What else I know On Puerto Limon>>> ACCOMADATIONS>>>> Be cautious of ultra cheap places they usually do not have strong locks.

Hotel Continental and Hotel Internacional are both two blocks north of the norteast corner of the mercado ,25 m from the beach,and share the same owner and prices. Basic rooms have fans and baths. Continental 798/0532. Internacional758 0434.singles 3500,with A/C 4000;doubles 4000/4800;triples without A/C 5000. Hotel Miami half a block west of the southwest corner of the market,has large rooms with fans,hot baths,and lots of light.More expensive rooms come with A/C,telephone,and TV. singles are 5500-8250 phone 758 0490 and 758 4888. All these prices of course in Colons. I will try to post a part 4 on Limon later today. I think Jackson actually should have a section for Puerto Limon here. Why it is not here that sucks. Cum on Guys post info on the Brothels and XXX Action here. I will try to back for more info On Puerto Limon as soon as I can get more info here for you guys,NIBU R.
What else I know on Limon.
This is the Great City of Costa Ricas Caribbean coast,birtplace of United Fruit and Capital of Limon Province. It is in so many ways still unremoved from San Joses sphere of influence. Around here,buisness is measured by the truckload of bananas not busload of tourists,so do not expect much pampering. Cruise Ships do deposit passengers here almost daily from October through May. I need to get going again but I will try to post on Limon more stuff later. Hey Now besides the bars where there are working girls are there also SWS In The Streets of Limon? I think The XXX Action is by Parque Vegas. I also think a 24 hour Internet place exists in Limon. Got to go. All info on Limon a must especially How To go booking a Hotel for Carnaval and the cost of prices for The Hotel and How to get there the best way from San Jose. Later,Bye,NIBS.
