@dennis2490 @hp1986 Puerto Viejo Just over the border from Panama (you can make a crossing via a run down wooden bridge) on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, lies Puerto Viejo, a little surfing and fishing town that’s big on reggae and low on the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With a mix of cultural influences, from native Caribbean to hippy American with a little tico lifestyle thrown in, Puerto Viejo is where like-minded souls meet to live with a slower pace and a lot more friendliness. 78| PicsArt Monthly @jacquecm If you’re not a surfer or a surf photographer, don’t worry; Puerto Viejo’s little eccentricities and unique personalities will give you more than enough inspiration for fantastic shots of a whole different way of life. Whether you’re enjoying the local coffee and cacao, cycling along into nearby towns like Cahuita, seeing the nature along the way, or simply sampling the community’s vibe, you’ll find yourself relaxed, inspired and snapping away with gusto.
