Guidebook for Puerto Viejo
Food Scene
The owners are from Argentina which means they can grill meat really well. The guacamole with homemade chips might make you fight over the last chip. Only open for dinner. Beautiful setting in the jungle. Get a reservation and a passion fruit caipirinha or two.

Parks & Nature
Gorgeous 1 mile long trail along side beach with opportunity to see monkeys, sloths, and other wildlife. During the summer, you may go snorkeling on the reef with a guide. This park is donation only. The rangers are very helpful with poaching so the funds are used well.

Beautiful waterfalls. You will need help to find this place but it is worth it. The Blue Butterfly was filmed here. My buddy Fred can take you in his old Landrover. Be very careful on the upper trail. Do not go when there has been a lot of rain. The best time of day to be there is around 11am.

This is my favorite wildlife rescue organization in the area. They are reintroducing Green Macaws into the wild by breeding birds that were confiscated from being kept illegally as pets. Go in the late afternoon when the birds are being fed. Bring a camera!

Beautiful black sand beach. This is volcanic sand that was brought here by currents. It is magnetic! Grab a beer at Kaya's place or go to Banana Azul's beach club for a tasty adult cocktail.

This is a good place to see the animals up close and learn more about them. The tours are well done albeit they are tours and sometimes it is crowded. The snake exhibit is impressive. The baby sloths will melt your heart.

Drinks & Nightlife
Reggae music and yummy drinks crafted by the diva we call Wuanda. She will even teach you how to cook Caribbean food. Although known for the festivities, you can also get a great breakfast here with the best view hands down.

Sightseeing
The farmer's market is held here every Saturday. You can find local farm products and hand made items including a couple of indigenous artists. The lady that weaves baskets uses traditional local methods. There is a young man that draws in a local gourd called jicaro. His work is quite pretty.
