Limon- what to do we have never been

[wardwhitty]

We are cruising the partial Panama Canal cruise with a stop in Limon, Costa Rica.  We have never been and are looking for recommendations of things to do.  Tours, things to see, what not to miss.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would book any Tour that takes you up and away from the Port, as the Volcano and jungle scenery can be quite interesting. It's definitely not Urban.. so go 'Nature-oriented'. Boat tours Northward up their 'Intracoastal Waterway' can be nice if the weather cooperates.

We booked the 6 in 1 tour with GioTours and had a great time. Just google them to see what was included.

When I was in Limon several years ago, I explored the town's connections with Marcus Garvey. That Jamaican-born creator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the first black mass movement in Americas, worked in Limon as a United Fruit timekeeper. I went to see his Black Star restaurant--and an abandoned meeting hall upstairs. The sign outside promised fried chicken in English, although Spanish is the main language of the multi-lingual town.

 

   The attached link describes the fire that destroyed that building. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g309264-d3961699-Reviews-Black_Star_Line_Restaurant-Puerto_Limon_Province_of_Limon.html
