Limón

Puerto Limón, the Caribbean's great port city, is Costa Rica's most culturally distinct urban center — the historical heart of Afro-Caribbean life in the country, a working port that processes 80% of Costa Rica's container shipping, the site of the legendary October Carnival, and the only city where the Spanish spoken on the street is inflected with Jamaican Creole and the food owes more to Kingston than to San José.
