Puntarenas, Costa Rica Port
Costa Rica occupies an enviable location in Central America, with tropical rainforests and stunning mountains along with coastlines on the two largest oceans in the world. It’s a beautiful destination, with its natural attractions proving popular with cruise passengers. Take a river cruise through the mangroves and see crocodiles, lizards and more, or climb the Poas Volcano, one of the few active in the region, and watch the gas and ash eruptions that frequently occur.
You can see the breath-taking rainforest on foot, where you’ll likely find scarlet macaws, or you can enjoy a different perspective with an aerial tram letting you ride above the treetops and spot the waterfalls and other wonders from up high. The port of Puntarenas is close to the Costa Rican capital of San Jose, and here you’ll find a wealth of impressive architecture from the Metropolitan Cathedral to the stunning National Theater. Or alternatively head to the local coffee plantation, where you can tour the facility and see how coffee is produced, from the harvesting of beans through to sampling a fine cup.
The currency in Puntarenas is the Costa Rican Colon. Puntarenas is 6 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT -6).
