Limon, Costa Rica's Caribbean coastal city, was founded in 1870 as a small fishing village. The city's architecture reflects its rich Afro-Caribbean heritage, with colorful buildings and wooden houses adorned with intricate detailing. In the early 20th century, Limón became a major hub for the banana export industry, earning it the nickname 'Banana Capital of Costa Rica'.

The city's historic downtown area is a maze of narrow streets and colonial-era buildings, giving way to a more modern, cosmopolitan feel as you head towards the waterfront.
