Puntarenas guides

Welcome to Puntarenas! A sliver of land eight kilometres long but only a few hundred metres wide, this Costa Rican port city's name translates as 'sand point,' and offers travelers sunny skies, seaside breezes and stunning sunsets. Take a private Puntarenas tour and explore this Pacific pearl with a local guide. If you're docking at Caldera, your guide can arrange a custom tour that includes a visit to the maritime museum, the city's old quarter and a unique black-sand beach. Those with time to explore further afield can ride a rainforest tram, sip fresh-roasted coffee beans on a plantation tour or tour the cloud forest of Monteverde. Befitting a coastal city, you can hop in a private boat for some high-energy reel-'em-in sport fishing, or a lazy afternoon cruise to Tortuga Island. Come dinner time you'll be spoiled for choice, with open-air restaurants serving the catch of the day while you savor a tumbler of Guaro, the local liquor.
