Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Puerto Viejo De Talamanca?
The best area to stay in Puerto Viejo De Talamanca is the town centre itself for convenience, or the more secluded areas just outside like Playa Cocles or Punta Uva for a quieter experience.

The town centre of Puerto Viejo is the hub of activity. Here, you'll find the highest concentration of restaurants, shops, and tour operators. It's very walkable, with the main road, Calle 215, running through it and leading directly to the beach. You can easily arrange excursions, rent bicycles, or enjoy a meal without needing transport.

Couples looking for a blend of accessibility and a relaxed atmosphere often find Playa Cocles ideal. It's just a short drive or bike ride south of the main town along the coastal road. This area is known for its beautiful beach, which is popular for surfing, and has a good selection of boutique hotels and guesthouses. It offers a nice balance, being close enough to the town's amenities but with a more laid-back vibe.

For those prioritising tranquillity and natural beauty, Punta Uva is an excellent choice. Further south from Cocles, it's a more residential area with fewer commercial establishments. The beach here is particularly beautiful and calm, great for swimming and paddleboarding.
When is the best time to go to Puerto Viejo De Talamanca?
The best time to go to Puerto Viejo De Talamanca is during its drier periods, which typically run from February to April and again from August to October.

For travellers looking for a more relaxed experience with fewer crowds, late August to October can be particularly appealing. While it's still a drier period, it often sees a slight dip in tourist numbers compared to the earlier dry season, offering a more tranquil visit.

Conversely, May to July and November to January are generally wetter, with more frequent rainfall. While still warm, these months might see some activities impacted by the rain.
