Puerto Limón (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpweɾto liˈmon]), commonly known as Limón (Spanish for "lemon"), is the capital city and main hub of Limón province, as well as of the cantón (county) of Limón in Costa Rica. It is the sixth-largest city in Costa Rica, with a population of over 55,000 (including surrounding towns), and is home of a multicultural community. Part of the community traces its roots to Italian, Jamaican and Chinese laborers who worked on a late nineteenth-century railroad project that connected San José to Puerto Limón. Until 1948, the Costa Rican government did not recognize Afro-Caribbean people as citizens and restricted their movement outside Limón province. As a result of this "travel ban", this Afro-Caribbean population became firmly established in the region, which influenced the decision to not move even after it was legally permitted. Nowadays, there is an important outflow of Limón natives who move to the country's Central Valley in search for better employment and education. The Afro-Caribbean community speaks Spanish and Limonese Creole, a creole of English.

We visited as part of our cruise. However, we signed up for the BEHIND the SCENES tour which was a bit pricey. That said, it was worth every penny.. Just getting to see baby sloths up close is an incredible experience. We learned so much about the sloths and their care. The facility is wonderful and a true must see for animal lovers. It was a privilege to meet the woman who started the organization as well as her daughter. We were, however, saddened to learn of the passing of Buttercup as she started the entire operation. Really, it is a wonderful place.
