Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a coastal town in the Talamanca Canton in Limón Province. The town is located in southeastern Costa Rica. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is known simply as Puerto Viejo to locals.[1] A town in northeastern Costa Rica is also commonly known as Puerto Viejo; this fact can confuse visitors.



Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a popular destination for all types of tourists. It is known worldwide in the surfing community for the biggest and most powerful wave in Costa Rica, known as: "Salsa Brava". It is also home to beautiful beaches, such as Playa Chiquita, Playa Negra, and Punta Uva, which are a few of Costa Rica's most spectacular beaches which can be found between Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. Manzanillo is a popular location for kayaking and is 13 km (8 mi) south along the beach. Nearby is the popular Jaguar Rescue Centre.
