cruisintwinsmom Posted December 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2022 On my many cruises, I have usually explored on my own or hired a private guide. I'm having trouble finding info on exploring Puerto Limon on my own. I see many suggested private tours. Are they the only way to see the area? Thanks in advance.

There's a very small town park and a local shopping area. Beyond that it's a road leading out of town past some grocery stores and schools--your typical suburban strip mall sprawl, but in Costa Rica so smaller and less at odds with the landscape. If you walk into the town itself there is a church and some restaurants and bars--but note that this is Costa Rica so it won't feel commercial at all. There's no Margaritaville. It's not possible to rent a car on a port stop (I checked) as the closest rental place is at the airport and most port days in Limon are on the short side; time just doesn't allow it. There were tour options available in the port the day of, but they looked pretty limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
