Thank you. I am a Limonense by birth but have lived in the US for over 50 years. When I go to Costa Rica I feel like a tourist, but not in Limón. I still have family there and Limón is home.
Hi thanks for the tour of my home Town (Old Harbor)(Harbour) Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón Costa Rica. Small correction, we were not slaves in Costa Rica. My grand and great Gran parents reach there for a better life from Jamaica W I. Keep up with the good work.
Limòn Costa Rica! "Pura Vida" You guys did a great job promoting Limòn and it's surroundings. I can tell that you had a wonderful time in Limon, my home town. I usually go back to visite every 2 or 3 years. Limòn Costa Rica is enjoyable. "Pura Vida mi bello Puerto Limon"
Limon is cool and like anyplace in the World you have to pick your spots. Certain neighborhoods are more sketchy than others. Walking around at night may be a gamble. I was cruising around with a couple local characters that I was introduced to by a friend. I realized something was up when people saw us on the sidewalk and crossed into the street to avoid our pathway. Found out later one of these “bodyguards “ was a stone cold killer and the other one was the baddest “knife” man in town. But hey, at least they were on my side.
When I lived in San Jose it was people walking down the street hollering Limon to me everytime they passed. I knew right then Limon was where my people were at. I had a short stay, when I go back I'm coming to Limon!
Thanks very much for the sharing of Your visit an experience to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.♥.I am from Limon, Now residing in Brooklyn, New York.♦ Proud of You all . Gracias. PURA VIDA.!!! Wednesday, December 6th.,2023 ♫♪ ♫♫ (Raul / Pecos.... The Acrobat / Dancer.)
Thanks for the beautiful review of my Country and specifically my province of Limon. I learned something new; i never knew those slave statues existed. Thank you!
Super grateful and appreciate the good review of my place of birth playa Bonita is a few minutes from my parents and Puerto viejo is our hangout, don’t blame Monique about being scared of that little plane…thanks so much because the distance can be such a turn off to visitors 🙏🏽 glad you enjoyed my birthplace.
Great feedback.. love the video. Wanted to ask persmission to show it on my tv morning show Townbook, in Limón TV. First Black Host, produced Costarican national tv show.
Oops I am sorry you did have some quick pictures in there. I was on the computer doing homework and tried to watch your videos at the same time. Guess since the pics flashed in and out pretty quick I didn't see them. Thanks for the video!!
I'm going to Puerto Viejo in August for 5 days, thinking about spending a day in Limon. I can fell you on the small plane I took a Liat plane from Antigua to Grenada. Thanx for the video
Hey! We went on trip advisor for the walking tour of Limon. And we met another tour guide while we were there. His name is Ronald. He also gave us a tour of the city. I can send his phone number if you need it. We used Whatsapp to contact him
And ya girl is BOOKED! Do you mind sharing links to the walking tour guide where you learned about the slave trade and Marcus Garvey?! I'll be visiting in May. Thanks for the awesome vlog!
Ah your information was very informative, but why didn't take pics with your phone about it as well. My grandparents went there over 100 years ago and their home is still there. My aunt who is deceased now told me she went Marcus Garvey school. She would have been in her 90's if she was alive. I never been to Limon but plan on going by the end of this year. Yes It used be called Jamaica town Costs Rica. All the Jamaicans went there to help build the railroad. They were hired by President Roosevelt to do so after the Asians could not bear the heat and was dieing with all types of diseases. Well you know the black man's melanin once again was needed to do hard labor in the sun!!😉 😉 Sorry for such a long text 😁
Sorry just now seeing your message. It was about a 40 minute plane ride from San Jose Airport. And here is the airbnb link as well. Please let us know if you have any additional questions too. Enjoy!! abnb.me/Vxbt2VlTsvb

Y’all persuaded me to visit Limon! Can you link the air bnb you lived in?
Sure absolutely. You will love it!

My husband and I are planning a trip to Limon in July. My question is, will a 49 & 52yr old couple feel comfortable or is it more for younger people?
Hey! Yes you would feel comfortable. It's definitely a city of all ages. Especially ages over 35
@@WoodleyWanderers Any Hotel suggestions?
@@mksandals9572 we stay in Airbnb’s because it is more cost effective.
