Puntarenas, Costa Rica - Panama Canal, Central America and Mexico Cruises

Embark on a sightseeing panoramic drive, heading east along the highway.

A stop will be made in the small town of Esparza, one of the most picturesque towns in the country’s Pacific region.

The park and church are emblematic of Costa Rica’s hardworking rural towns. Local dancers will greet you at the park with colourful dresses; enjoy the folkloric show while you learn about local traditions.

Your journey will continue south along the coastal highway. Relax and enjoy the stretches of Pacific coastline, the mango and cashew plantations and surrounding farmland. In Costa Rica it’s easy to see how man and nature live in harmony together. A stop will be made at Orotina, where you will be offered a refreshment of local tropical fruits and coffee.

Continuing back down to sea level, admire the views over rolling green pasture. The colourful homes with tropical plants marking borders and boundaries subtly decorate the countryside.
