Limon Real Estate | Overflowing with wildlife, the province of Limon, Costa Rica is considered to be one of the most untouched and lush regions of the country. It covers a good 125 miles of coastline between Nicaragua and Panama. There are a lot of white sand beaches and coconut palm trees along most of it. You might refer to Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast as the ultimate tropical paradise. 

History of Limon 

Limon is also the name of the capital port city where waters are deep enough for large ships. There is a sandbar that protects the port which was used by Spanish merchants hundreds of years ago. It was Christopher Columbus who first spotted that land in 1503. The port continued to grow in the late 1850s and consequently, it opened to foreign commerce in 1867. A railroad was built to join Limon with the nation’s capital, San Jose in 1890. 

The banana industry was developed along the tracks to provide a cash cargo. Immigrants from Africa and China went to work on the Atlantic Railroad and the banana plantations during the 19th century. Although the railroad stopped operating in 1995, the banana industry continues to thrive today. The Limon port (Puerto Limon) has done more exporting than any other port in Costa Rica. 

Climate in Limon 

The climate in Limón is hot, oppressive, and overcast. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 76°F to 86°F and is rarely below 73°F or above 89°F.

The best month to visit Limon is in October. That is the month of the heaviest rains on the Pacific side making it an attractive “getaway” for both nationals who live on the Pacific Coast and tourists.

Things To Do in Limon 

In the capital city you will find some museums and stunning architecture that is unique to the area. At Parque Vargas, a beautiful park filled with tropical palm trees, you can spy sloths if you’re lucky climbing among the branches. 

Tortuguero National Park

Located in the northern half of the province, Tortuguero National Park is known first for its turtle nesting along the beach, thus lending to the name of the park. Hop on a boat, kayak or canoe to get the best view of the wildlife in this park. Leatherback, Hawksbill and Green sea turtles are the most common species that nest along the beaches. Depending on the season, you may have the opportunity to see them at night when they go to lay their eggs. 

Cahuita National Park

Cahuita National Park has roughly 55,000 acres of protected waters and 600 acres of living coral reef, which is one of two in the entire country. Besides the diverse aquatic wildlife, it’s home to 35 species of coral and 400 species of fish. There are relatively easy hiking trails and you can snorkel, swim, and scuba dive. Cahuita’s southern tip is another important site for turtle nesting. The park is also home to howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, bats, coatis and snakes.

Talamanca Mountains

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the southern end of Limon which is bordered by the stunning Talamanca Mountains stretching from San Jose into Panama.This mountain range is full of diverse wildlife and contains five different altitudes in some areas. It is covered in lowland rainforest and cloud forest. Remember that Costa Rica contains almost 6 percent of the world’s biodiversity.

Finally, the towns of Manzanilla and Puerto Viejo de Talamanca are great locations for you to get a taste of the real Tico lifestyle. Overall, the province of Limon is the perfect real estate choice for those who like to be off the beaten path, living a tropical beach lifestyle near or on the coast.

Historia de Limón

En la provincia de Limón puedes encontrar un puerto con el mismo nombre, el cual tiene aguas profundas para grandes barcos cuenta con un banco de arena que protege este puerto.  El cual fue utilizado por comerciantes españoles hace cientos de años cuando Cristóbal Colon fue quien piso primera esta tierra en 1503. El puerto continúo creciendo a finales de la década en 1850 lo que provoco una apertura al comercio exterior en 1867. Esto conllevo a la construcción de ferrocarril con el fin de unir Limón con la capital San José en 1890.

La industria del banano fue desarrollada a lo largo de las autopistas para proporcionar un efectivo transporte del mismo. Inmigrantes de áfrica y China vinieron a trabajar en la construcción del ferrocarril del atlántico. Tambien en las plantaciones de banano durante el siglo 19. A pesar de que el ferrocarril cerro sus operaciones en 1995, la industria del banano continuo operando. El puerto Limón ha hecho más exportaciones que cualquier otro puerto en Costa Rica.
