Limón: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Limón, officially known as Puerto Limón, is the capital city of the Limón province on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. The city serves as the country's most important port on the Caribbean Sea and has played a crucial role in Costa Rica's economic development since the late 19th century.

The area is characterized by its rich Afro-Caribbean culture, which is reflected in its music, cuisine, and local traditions. This cultural heritage stems from the Jamaican and other Caribbean workers who came to the region during the construction of the railroad connecting Limón to San José. The city's architecture features a mix of Caribbean colonial style buildings and modern port infrastructure. The surrounding region is known for its national parks, pristine beaches, and diverse wildlife, making it an important cultural and ecological destination in Costa Rica.
