Limón Province, Caribbean province in Costa Rica.
The province spreads across 9,189 square kilometers of Caribbean lowlands, featuring dense rainforests, extensive banana plantations, and pristine black sand beaches.
The construction of the Caribbean Railway in the late 19th century connected Puerto Limón with San José, transforming the region into a major trade center.
The province maintains a strong Afro-Caribbean influence through its music, dance, language, and traditional dishes like rice and beans with coconut milk.
The six cantons of Limón Province offer various accommodations near national parks, with regular bus connections to San José and neighboring regions.
The Tortuguero National Park in Limón Province serves as the primary nesting ground for green sea turtles between July and October.
