How to find Caribeans in Puerto Viejo De Talamanca
Like most things in Puerto Viejo, directions are relative to another building, sign or landmark. In the case of Caribeans, it’s a few minutes south of Puerto Viejo town next to Tasty Waves.
The Resurrection of a Cacao Farm
As you’re driving around Puerto Viejo, trying to read signs and not collide with the constant stream of bikers, pedestrians and ATVs, it’s hard to imagine what’s hiding in the thick jungle, just a few feet from the road.
But on this Puerto Viejo chocolate tour you head up into the hills on foot, and while you’ll be sweating while climbing this hill on most days it’s well worth the effort.
Hiking is a one of the great things to do in Puerto Viejo. However there are few trails that lead to spectacular ocean views like our chocolate tour. Chocolate tasting is another one of the things to do here. Hanging out a coffee shop is another one of the things to do and Caribeans is the best coffee shop in the area.
