Properties in Limón
Lively Culture
In this region, the people are considered the heart and soul of this Caribbean Coastal State. Travelers who are fans of food, culture, and getting to know new people come here for the experience. Most locals are of Afro-Caribbean descendants - the descendants of Jamaican and other British West Indians who immigrated in the nineteenth century for work on the Atlantic Railroad, plantations, and docks. Creole dishes are traditional in this region with the use of African spices and vegetables and delicious fish and chicken. Also the traditional Caribbean dances and weeklong carnival is celebrated in the streets of this tropical state.
Caribbean Beaches
The Tortuguero National Canal is where to watch the gentle giant sea turtles nest along the beach. Snorkeling coral reefs at the Cahuita National Park to see the array of aquatic wildlife, including 35 species of coral and 400 species of fish, other activities include canoeing, scuba diving and swimming. Go surfing at Puerto Viejo de Talamanca or watch the howler monkeys, sloths, iguanas, bats, and coatis of the region. Imagine having all of these things to see and to enjoy as a retiree or young professional life can be simple and happy here.
Ready to Develop
Limón has unveiled a new development agency which has the goal of preparing the community for all the positive changes that are expected to come to the province. Public and private investments have been approved for nearly five billion dollars, including a $1.5 billion petroleum refinery and a $199 million petroleum port. The time to invest in Limon is now, more jobs, more income and better stability for your family. Invest in real estate or in a new business.
Natural Beauty
Miles of endless white and black sandy beaches. Explore the rain forest and enjoy the nature and relaxing atmosphere. Barra Del Colorado National Wildlife Refuge is a safe and peaceful place for the rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. In this region visitors like to practice sports fishing; some major draw as 100-plus pound tarpon can be taken year-round. Isla Uvita is a small island offshore of the port of Limón where Christopher Columbus anchored his ships on his final voyage to America in 1502. The scenic views of the oceans are the top reason why real estate is growing in these areas with natural beauty.
Cruise Port
There are two main port terminals in Limón for shipments of exports and for cruise ships the Limón port and the Moín port. Exporting out of Costa Rica are their richest and most abundant resources such as papayas, watermelons, bananas and pineapples and the delicious Costa Rican coffee. Large lands for sale, perfect for individuals investing in the agricultural business.
