Journey to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui

I took the scenic route to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, a small riverside community located in the northeastern corner of Costa Rica, less than 20 miles south of the Nicaraguan border. The budding town lies at the base of the Cordillera Central Mountain Range and is quickly becoming a popular eco-tourism destination for both wildlife enthusiasts and thrill-seekers.
