Although the development of Costa Rica has been extending to the length and breadth of the country, the city of Puntarenas (“El Puerto,” as some call it) keeps the historical importance that has characterized it.
Puntarenas has been and continues to be the marina road between the Central Valley and a large sector of the Costa Rican Pacific.
A historical Harbor
The Puntarenas Harbor opened the possibility of first coffee exports and also imports of finished products from Europe. Even today, this still has importance for the Costa Rican economy, since it is a meeting point for the ferry from Nicoya, cargo ships, cruise ships and industrial and artisanal fishing boats.
Puntarenas is a beautiful city, its long beach, and tourism industry offers the visitor the opportunity to enjoy sporting activities such as fishing, kayaking, surfing, and hiking, without neglecting a forced journey along the beach.
Every day is a good day to go to the “Puerto”
In this city you can enjoy annual celebrations like the Popular Celebrations in November; Fiesta of the Virgen Del Mar in July; and the cheerful Carnival in Puntarenas in February or March.
The privileged status of this city is due in large part to its proximity to the town of San Jose, from which it is separated by only 110 kilometers of good road.
