Send Flowers to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, on the southern Caribbean coast, is a laid-back village of reggae, coconut-scented cooking and jungle-backed beaches. It should not be confused with Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí in the northern lowlands. Afro-Caribbean families, the indigenous Bribri communities of the nearby hills, and settlers from Europe and the Americas all share this corner of Costa Rica.

A single coastal road runs south from the village through Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva to Manzanillo, and most homes, guesthouses and lodges are along it or down unmarked lanes. To send flowers to Puerto Viejo, give the name of the property, the nearest beach or landmark and a phone number that works locally. Same-day delivery applies Monday to Saturday for orders placed before 11:00 am local time, but because the area is far from the larger towns, it may need next-day delivery. Orders after the cut-off arrive the next day, and there are no deliveries on Sundays. Rain can fall in any month, and September and October are often the sunniest here.
