Caribbean Coast travel

Is it nature that sets the pace for humans, or the other way around? One would be inclined here to choose the first option, as the Caribbean waves serve as a soundtrack to the indolence of the place, and the thick carpets of tropical forest are so densely packed on the horizon that they encourage you to linger along the coast. With Jamaican influence ever-present, reggae music plays day and night along this Caribbean coast, so different from the rest of the country. Stroll through Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, where surfing is a religion, put on your mask and snorkel in Manzanillo, then head north to the Tortuguero wetlands where crocodiles, frogs, monkeys, sloths, and more than 240 species of birds live.
