North Caribbean Region Costa Rica Real Estate

The Northern Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, located inside the Limon Province, is a beautifully secluded area with lush dense forestation, meandering rivers, and gorgeous lagoons. It is home to some of the most exotic wildlife and flora in the country. It is one of the fewest places in Costa Rica where sea turtles come ashore to nest. This part of the country is also a sport fishermen's dream with huge schools of Atlantic tarpon found in the rivers and along the shore.

The North Caribbean Coast is mainly made up of two national parks, with only a small number of people inhabiting the area. The Barra del Colorado Refuge sits along Costa Rica's northern border with Nicaragua, while the National Park Tortuguero lies south of Barra del Colorado Refuge. This area has a number of small gorgeous beaches that are often bordered by verdant coastal forests with many swamps also found in the area.

It is a popular destination for eco-travelers and adventurers alike. It is vital to keep in mind that this part of the country gets plenty of rainfall; a lot more than Costa Rica’s northern Pacific Coast. Rainy most days, the weather tends to improve slightly from December to April, which is Costa Rica’s dry season. However, this does not mean that it stops raining. The rainfall just eases up.

Another important thing that you need to remember is that public transportation to this region is very limited and people can only reach these areas by boat or a small plane. This inaccessibility has been a plus, as this region is home to large tracts of virgin lowland rain forests and is the nesting grounds of four of the eight species of sea turtles in the world.
