I’m so happy that you got to Limon and Cahuita. We heard the same things about Limon, but when we arrived we new we had made the right decision. It’s like a country within a country.
I'm so excited you guys went here. Everyone kept telling me this side of the country was dangerous which I felt was highkey racist, because why are the black parts of countries always considered "dangerous." Adding Limon to my Costa Rican travel bucket list!
Yes!!!. Loving this video. We Black people are EVERYWHERE around the globe. As a Black Puertorican man( who first language is Spanish ), it was so beautiful seeing Black Latinos so immersed, loving & living in their culture. My partner & I love your channel. Johnny & Johann/ Los Angeles ♥ ❤
I loved Costa Rica and especially the Limón area. Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Manzanillo...all of it! The food, 😋. Great experiences! Easy interactions with friendly local people, local bus rides to various towns, howler monkeys, black sand beach. It was more than a year between visits and as I walked along the beach in Manzanillo, a guy called out and waived, ran over, said he remembered me from the prior year and the rain forest tourist and welcomed me back. It warmed my heart. 💜
I read "El negro en Costa Rica" written by Quince Duncan. It let my eyes wide open because I didn't know about this part of our history. Great content!
Great video! I stayed in Cahuita back in 2015 and loved it - howler monkeys, black sand beach, lively dancing and socializing at bars/restaurants, kind and friendly local citizens, delicious food, and walking distance to Parque Nacional Cahuita. I highly recommend a visit to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. (And as a single female traveler, I found it to be safe)
i spent some time back in the 80s in that part of the country (I was in the Peace Corps). Really loved the area and the beaches. The pacific side is so overdeveloped now - good to see the Caribbean side still has some laid back charm. Look forward to upcoming videos.
This is how our adventures into the Caribbean of Costa Rica started.

Thank you for this video! My husband and I will be going to the province of Limon this month and you guys are really helping us out! I cannot wait ❤️ much love!
There is a book called "What Happen" by Paula Palmer in which the author recorded some of the elders talking about the history of black people in that area. In fact I think some of the recordings are now in one of the national museums in San Jose.
This was spectacular. To see the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica I didn't know. So relatable, as an African living in Trinidad and Tobago for over two decades. It is heartwarming to see similarities in the food, culture and that ebony gorgeous skin tone. My soul danced with joy. We're everywhere . Thanks so much for sharing.
Love the Ska music at 7:00. We need to get some of those nice buses here in the States. Everyone complains about Greyhound buses. Very interesting video.
Thank you for the interesting background on a part of Costa Rica’s history I knew nothing about. I knew about Costa Rica’s indigenous and Spanish colonial history but did not know anything about Limon and the segregation that led to it being a predominately black province. Now I want to go back to Costa Rica to specifically visit Limon.
The segregation was not primarily due to color but to cultural differences like language and religion, the workers came under contract to work on the port and City construction and the lowlands section of the railroad, they were not tricked by the government but the ufco. Black presence in Costa Rica is centuries old as well as the cultural missunderstanding but taking about segregation is exagerated with todays lens. Its easier to find out how italians and cubans and later lebanese blended. Afrocaribean being more saw no interest in blend and were able to maintain churches and English schools for decades and in part that also explain why they mostly stay living in limón Province. Its fair to say the efforts from government to adapt and integrate the black community and limón are also decades old and the black leaders and organization were more succesful than others to do it
@@victorlionelnazaire685 there was no attemp of a colony in Nicoya, un Guanacaste Province, but my understanding is that it didnt last, they had sugar cane plantation
Omg I can’t wait to go! The video quality is superb! This looks like the travel channel! I never knew about this area of Costa Rica! This will be my first stop !!!
Awesome video. Very educational. We visited Costa Rica last year and at the time did not know about the Caribbean Side. I wish we had known. Can't wait to see more of your stay there.
Don't feel bad we almost passed by it....but we're really happy we didn't. Not the city if Limon but the area between the city and Puerto Viejo turned out to be our favorite place in CR.
Thanks, I can't remember their names. We took 2 different ones heading to the South and coming back and they both were bad. We boned with people on the bus because of how hot it was....good memories with cool people on a bad bus ride lol. Sorry ik this didn't help.
Welcome to the channel and thanks for the sub! we try to include stuff we find interesting hoping our peeps will also find it interesting. Glad you found us!
Wow - spectacular video today guys! Thank you, thank you for this! So enriched by this content - Such a rich, deep tapestry, it seems like you could spend a very, very long time there taking in the layers of experiences that make up the region. Jumping immediately yo part 2! 💕
Thanks for this really great introduction to Lemon. I’ve been wanting to visit for the last few years after I learned from my grand aunt that two of her brothers migrated there from Jamaica to work on the banana plantation. I would love to connect with these family members. I’m adding to my list to get there within the next year.
This is wild. We were just in Costa Rica for a wedding last week and the first thing I noticed and said was "there's no one that looks like us" and now it makes sense. Now I have to plan another visit and get to where my people are....LIMON
Can't wait to see more videos of Limon and the Caribbean coast. The history is amazing! Would you guys live on the Caribbean coast and if so where? If not where would you recommend?
Oh Wow! I never new about this side of Costa Rica " Limon ' very interesting and informative, thank you so much for this video. Now I'm doing and digging some research on this Thanks guys.🤗🙏🏾
I've been to Limon several times and have a real connection to it. It really is more dangerous than the rest of Costa Rica. That being said, the culture and food there really are the best. As a Jamaican myself I was fascinated by how my people migrated there and brought the Jamaican flavor and added the Spanish mix there.
Yes to all of that. They....brought w/ them seeds for planting and their own way of life. Absolutely fascinating and by the government cutting them off their culture took root. It is more dangerous that's the other side of having to fend for yourself... People do what they believe they have to do.
@@TheYarbros crime often comes with lack of resources. Plus as you can imagine, that port is an attractive place for a certain kind of product smuggling. But not all areas are hot spots. BTW, while the history of limon is bad as it pertains to the govt, the country has come to celebrate and embrace black culture. Going to clubs in San Jose or anywhere in CR, they love the music and mix with the black people. I went to school in San Jose and worried the police would watch me but i passed them everyday and they never noticed the one black guy walking by. There was even a famous homeless black man who slept outside of the school downtown and people were so kind to him. Costa Rica every year celebrates día de los negros with pride. It's definitely not what I'm accustomed to in the states
@@DaneReidVoiceOver Yeah, we felt at peace...even celebrated throught CR...never knew about day of the black though....thanks I'll have to look that up!
Hi Natasha, I'm just seeing your comment! If you're still looking for contacts, we enjoyed our learning about the Afro Caribbean side of Costa Rica with Soul Life Travel - here's the website link soullifetravel.net/ and IG page instagram.com/soullifetravel/
No country is perfect. CR has its problems also. However, the Black Chefs, Cooks, and street food are absolutely amazing. It is great that Blacks are making a home for themselves in Costa Rica. Great that Black families and people survived and thrived despite all.
Well I know people that were robbed traveling into Limon ,we went everywhere in Costa Rica but there although my dad liked to visit Limon regularly as Costa Rica was his home and final resting place .
My FAVORITE AREA BY FAR (after 16 years living in CR)!! The Caribbean food with lots of coconut in it but also many international restaurants, the people, the Jamaican/black culture & MORE!!!! (just don't bring your computer with you & do be conscious)
I've been to Costa Rica in San Jose with a few friends from this church. It was awesome. I wish i could have gone to Puerto Limon because i know what that area is known for. Considering the fact that I'm of Caribbean origin. Many black Costa Ricans are of West Indian descent . Just like many black Panamanians are also of West Indian background. We black people are all over. People just don't know.
I'd feel fine staying in Puerto Viejo if I were solo traveling. Lots of transient visitors/ young backpackers. The bus systm in CR is older and can seem a bit gritty but I didn't feel unsafe. -Apryl
Pura Vida ❤, let me tell you all.something , my Mom Grand ma and all my family was from. LIMON COSTA RICA ! I brag about it too everyone especially because of the rich Jamaican culture there! I was born and raised in Harlem NYC but I was also raised in Limon as a baby and all threw my life my Grand ma had a house in Santa Edujes and it is paradise too me . I hate when people especially from the capital talk so poorly about it. With out Limon which is the port city the gate way of commerce in Costa Rica what would that country be. Limonense soy yo me corre en mi Alma y mi Sanger ❤
My prefer province Limón!!!I love the place, people,food, music, culture, everything there!! however you can find there a lot of people from differents countries. I'm white on the outside, but black on the inside, I love you lemon!,❤️
It was a Live chat that we took off line after 48 hrs and made avaliable only to our Patreons....but here is a link ruclips.net/video/SnmO_RS3MGk/видео.html 🤫🤣🤣🤣
I'm a single woman, black & American. Well...only until l have someone l can trust 100% to travel "with" me I'm staying put. Its stressful (in my own country) coming across so many shady characters & disingenuous people...scamners etc. I can only imagine what I'd come across stepping into in a whole new country & culture w/ no allies & no one l know. Thats not good to have to be in such a vulnerable position where if something happened you may never be found. And it happens so ladies DON'T TRAVEL ALONE. You become a big target.
Same happen to me at San Jose they be like don’t go to Limon is dangerous lol i went there it was like been in the Dominican Republic people are nice 😊 I enjoy it
How much do you guys charge to assist with an itinerary to places like Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico. How can we contact you? Or are you guys still to busy with your own itineraries. 😊 I will be traveling with a child so I would love assistance from trustworthy sorces.
Jamaicans, Barbadians, Trinidanians, Grenadians, etc came to Costa Rica to work in the banana plantations and to build the Railroads to the Atlantic Ocean through thick jungles of Central America. Unlike the locals or the Chinese, they knew the British Imperial System (of measures, miles, feet, inches, etc) used to the build these Railroads and the Panama Canal. Jamaicans brought with them their own schools and education system to Costa Rica, Panama, and other places. Mathematics (Arithmetic) were taught from an early age in school and normally on Sundays after church service. Unfortunately, those the Jamaican schools were closed down by the Central American governments.
I’m so happy that you got to Limon and Cahuita. We heard the same things about Limon, but when we arrived we new we had made the right decision. It’s like a country within a country.
Big facts! It's a whole different world....and we like it!
Costa Rica in general is the same with lil differences depending on the province@@TheYarbros
I'm so excited you guys went here. Everyone kept telling me this side of the country was dangerous which I felt was highkey racist, because why are the black parts of countries always considered "dangerous." Adding Limon to my Costa Rican travel bucket list!
It's distinctively different from the rest of CR... we can't wait to return to Puerto Viejo!
Thats not true, youre not from costa rica thats why you think that
I've lived in CR since 1997 and I'm a CR citizen. I love love love Limon.
We love it too! 😄
LOVE that you guys always go off the beaten path, no matter where you are. Amazing history and amazingly resilient people!
😄 Ikr, our feet always lead us someplace #different.
Yes!!!. Loving this video. We Black people are EVERYWHERE around the globe. As a Black Puertorican man( who first language is Spanish ), it was so beautiful seeing Black Latinos so immersed, loving & living in their culture.
My partner & I love your channel.

Love having you guys w/ us and yes it is a beautiful thing seeing Black ppl enjoying life on their...our terms.
Thank you sir black Americans think they own the color when my father and his side are black from San Jose costa rica
@@half.breed83Shut up and keep our name out yo mouth. Same comment everywhere
I loved Costa Rica and especially the Limón area. Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Manzanillo...all of it! The food, 😋. Great experiences! Easy interactions with friendly local people, local bus rides to various towns, howler monkeys, black sand beach.
It was more than a year between visits and as I walked along the beach in Manzanillo, a guy called out and waived, ran over, said he remembered me from the prior year and the rain forest tourist and welcomed me back. It warmed my heart. 💜
That connection to the people, the land and....the food lol is what it's all about!

Thank you! We love, love, love that area for all the reasons you states. It's simply tranquil!
Thanks for this episode guys. I like this style of travel. Learning about history of the people and supporting their businesses.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. We love the history and supporting locals as much as we can!
i spent some time back in the 80s in that part of the country (I was in the Peace Corps). Really loved the area and the beaches. The pacific side is so overdeveloped now - good to see the Caribbean side still has some laid back charm. Look forward to upcoming videos.

Many blessings! Currently in Sayulita which is beautiful but no Black presence. Puerto Viejo looks amazing
I wanted to visit Sayulita but didn't get the chance ... yet. But Puerto Viejo is definitely worth the visit.
Fascinating. Love the history in this vlog...I'll be looking out for part II

Guadalajara for us.
Is not racist in Costa Rica!! We are one!🇨🇷🌳💚🌎🦥
I'm from New Orleans and have visited the Caribbean coast and love the vibe ~ Jaco is too much "gringo Vibe" glad y'all made it to that side of Pura
Agreed Jaco is hyper touristy and the Caribbean is really chill. Loved it!

No country is perfect. CR has its problems also. However, the Black Chefs, Cooks, and street food are absolutely amazing. It is great that Blacks are making a home for themselves in Costa Rica. Great that Black families and people survived and thrived despite all.
Will be there in May.

I was in La Fortuna and they told me the same thing about the Caribbean side.
No surprises there!
Colors, culture, nature, food, rain, spirit, and smiles. What else you can ask for in Limón.❓🌿🍍🖤

Ok now your speakin my language!! I’d be throwin down.

Puerto Viejo should not be missed!
Well I know people that were robbed traveling into Limon ,we went everywhere in Costa Rica but there although my dad liked to visit Limon regularly as Costa Rica was his home and final resting place .
Yes, you run that risk 8n the majority of Latin America.
My FAVORITE AREA BY FAR (after 16 years living in CR)!! The Caribbean food with lots of coconut in it but also many international restaurants, the people, the Jamaican/black culture & MORE!!!! (just don't bring your computer with you & do be conscious)
I hope more people can explore that area and come to love it like you!
I'm Costarican and it's also my favorite area of Costa Rica
@Sarong Goddess why? Were you robbed? Several digital nomads are interested in working from there. Can you gv more details?
I've been to Costa Rica in San Jose with a few friends from this church. It was awesome. I wish i could have gone to Puerto Limon because i know what that area is known for. Considering the fact that I'm of Caribbean origin. Many black Costa Ricans are of West Indian descent . Just like many black Panamanians are also of West Indian background. We black people are all over. People just don't know.
I didn’t know any of this, so thanks for educating us! Also, was the cab driver originally the Eastern Caribbean? He sounded just like my dad.
Ricky is from Limon parents from Jamaica I believe. Glad you enjoy this one!
Stumbled on a GEM!

I love your videos! Do you recommend traveling by bus and staying in Limon as a woman traveling alone?

Unlike the locals or the Chinese, they knew the British Imperial System (of measures, miles, feet, inches, etc) used to the build these Railroads and the Panama Canal. Jamaicans brought with them their own schools and education system to Costa Rica, Panama, and other places. Mathematics (Arithmetic) were taught from an early age in school and normally on Sundays after church service. Unfortunately, those the Jamaican schools were closed down by the Central American governments.
Thanks you for the insight!
