Crónicas de Limon

Limon, Costa Rica's oldest Afro-Caribbean city, was founded in 1871 by Jamaican and African-American immigrants who arrived as part of the country's banana plantation industry. Over the years, Limon's architecture has been shaped by its Caribbean roots, with wooden houses and colonial-era buildings standing alongside modern developments. The city's cultural identity is a unique blend of African, Caribbean, and Latin American traditions, reflected in its music, cuisine, and festivals. Today, Limon is a hub for ecotourism, with its stunning natural surroundings and rich cultural heritage. The city's history and cultural significance make it an essential destination for anyone interested in Costa Rica's lesser-known regions.
