And we will stay in the contemporary capital city of San José where majestic mountains and bustling nightlife await. Immerse yourself in local traditions, explore breathtaking landscapes, and create unforgettable memories on this unique adventure designed for the curious and the adventurous.
In the vibrant port city of Puerto Limón, Costa Rica, lies Jamaica Town—a cultural gem that embodies the spirit of Jamaica. This historic neighborhood is a showcase of rich Afro-Caribbean heritage, where reggae rhythms fill the air and the community's warmth is felt everywhere. Jamaica Town's story began in the late 19th century, when Jamaican workers arrived to build the Atlantic Railroad, bringing with them their vibrant culture and traditions. In 1910, a young Marcus Garvey arrived, later becoming a key Pan-Africanist activist, further shaping the legacy of Jamaica Town. We'll be visiting this historic port during one of the most exciting times of the year: Black History Month, celebrated every August. Travelers from all over the world come to participate in grand parades, cultural programs, and visit the historic landmarks. Bask in this unique opportunity to connect with Jamaica Town as an insider, hosted by Costa Rica's first and only black female governor. She will share her insights about her home, its history, and her time in government while engaging in several included excursions or customize your adventure by exploring on your own.
You'll also spend three luxurious days in San Jose, a bustling city surrounded by volcanoes and cloud forests. Here, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant city life by visiting museums, taking guided tours, exploring the stunning mountains and dabbling in their exciting nightlife. With so much to see and do, your time in San Jose promises to be an unforgettable adventure, filled with excitement and discovery at every turn.
