Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Puerto Limon, Province of Limon
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 this Park as a day trip from a cruise line. There is so much to see in the Park, including an exhibit area providing live wildlife (separated by glass to keep them and us safe), a wonderful butterfly exhibit of mounted specimens, and an area enclosed by netting with many of the butterflies from the previous exhibit flying around us. We had a short but very interesting presentation by one of the researchers explaining aspects of the work they are doing in the Park. The aerial tram ride provided a wonderful swatch through the park allowing us to capture some of the vastness of this place. We were even able to see our ship in the distance at one point. At the bottom of the ride we walked a platform further into the rainforest. Although we saw limited wildlife, it was amazing just to be able to walk through this facility. Great care was taken to keep us on the platform. Our guide, Wendy, who was with us from the time we left the ship until our return, was well versed in her country and added many details was we visited the Park. She was careful to point out camouflaged frogs and snakes in the exhibit area. We were disappointed at the poverty and excessive garbage in many of the areas during the one hour bus ride to and from the Park. The road was also quite rough, which could be a problem for anyone susceptible to motion sickness. With such a spectacular Park, one would have expected the local government to assist with cleaning up the road in. We and those we spoke with on our tour were definitely glad we signed up for this one.
