Send Flowers to Limón, Costa Rica

Limón is the main city of Costa Rica's Caribbean coast and the heart of its Afro-Caribbean culture. Many families descend from Jamaican workers who came to build the railway and work the banana plantations, and you still hear English-based Limonese Creole alongside Spanish. The food, the music and the pace are different from the Central Valley.

The port of Limón and the nearby container terminal at Moín handle a large share of the country's exports, and they are major employers. Each October the city holds its carnival, and 31 August is celebrated across the country as the Day of the Black Person and Afro-Costa Rican Culture. To send flowers to Limón, write the address with its landmarks, the barrio and a phone number. Local florists deliver the same day, Monday to Saturday, for orders before 11:00 am local time; later orders arrive next day, and never on Sundays. It can rain in any month on this coast, and the warm, humid air is ideal for tropical flowers.
