| PORTO LIMON PHOTOS |
Costa Rica's most important port, Puerto Limon, was founded in 1870 as a port city to export bananas and grains to various parts of the globe.
One of the oldest cities on the North American continent, it was established in 1502 when Christopher Columbus landed here during his exploration of the New World.
Located in Limon province along the Caribbean coast, Puerto Limon is the provincial capital of Limon and lies some 160 km east of the capital city of San Jose.

While in Puerto Limon we took a very interesting ecological river tour through a hot and steamy rainforest. When we returned to the dock the captain's daughter was waiting for her dad. Could she be any more perfect?
