Day tripping in Bocas Del Toro

Living in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica has many cool and not too expensive benefits.  You can day trip to exciting destinations all within minutes to a few hours commute by bike, car, bus or plane.  With the airport in Limon now offering flights only an hour away and tour services providing tours to most places in Costa Rica, the surfing border towns like San Juan Del Sur in Nicaragua and Sea lovers paradise of Bocas Del Toro in Panama....it's understandable while you might also choose to make Puerto Viejo your home.  The roads in this region are very navigable and 4 wheel drive while useful is not needed.

The beaches of the Bocas Del Toro islands of Panama are some of the finest anywhere in the world, with word class fishing, diving and surfing just a short boat ride away.  Caribbean influenced cuisine offering many flavors with the local staple of rice and beans is very tasty and quite affordable.  Your choice of local beers include Panama, Balboa and my favorite Atlas.

With water temperatures ranging from 78 to 82 degrees year round it's no wonder that this is a sun and surf seekers paradise. This tropical destination is on the rise with expats and travelers looking to escape the very crowded beaches of other caribbean destinations.  Over water bungalows like Eclypse De Mar

have the feel of its more expensive rivals in the South Pacific Islands of Tahiti.

Finally when you arrive back home in Puerto Viejo...you realize that the place you live is just as lovely and beautiful as any you will travel in the world.  Next time you're in Costa Rica, check us out at Villa Almedro Cocles and leave your worries behind.

Ciao!
