Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Limon?

Cahuita National Park : Walk the coastal trail where howler monkeys and sloths hang overhead, then snorkel the nearshore reef when seas are calm to spot parrotfish and brain coral. Tortuguero Canals (from Moín) : Glide by boat through mirror‑still waterways lined with palms to look for caimans, herons, and iguanas; in season, learn about sea turtle nesting further north. Veragua Rainforest : Ride an aerial tram into the canopy, hike to a waterfall, and see butterflies, frogs, and reptiles in focused exhibits run with local researchers. Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica : Join a guided visit to observe rescued two‑ and three‑toed sloths up close and canoe a quiet backwater where birds perch low over the water. Parque Vargas, Puerto Limón : Sit under towering palms facing the Caribbean, spot the old bandstand and historic customs house, and watch daily life roll by along the malecón.

Question 2

Is Limon walkable?

Accepted Answer

Limon’s centre is small and walkable. Parque Vargas, the market, and the waterfront sit close together on flat streets.

The region’s big draws lie outside town. MEPE buses run to Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, and connections continue toward Tortuguero via La Pavona. If you want to reach rainforests and beaches without juggling transit, consider a private tour in Limon with transportation included.
