Manzanillo

Near the southeastern border with Panama in the Limon Province of Costa Rica, the unspoilt fishing village of Manzanillo is an excellent location for outdoor adventure. Located inside the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife and Marine Refuge, the town is subject to strict development restrictions, and, as a result, is relatively quiet. Pristine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear ocean waters, and lush jungle beckon. Adventurous travellers may want to contact Nature Observatorio to book a guided hike through the jungle, a canopy tour, or even stay in the jungle in an open treehouse overnight, while water lovers will find plenty of swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and diving opportunities available. Finally, Manzanillo is steeped in Afro-Caribbean culture.
