All the things we wish we had known when planning a trip here
Puerto Jimenez is about as far south on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica as you can get.
There are tourists in Puerto Jimenez, but not to the extent that you see in other towns in Costa Rica.
You can take one day or multi-day hikes inside the park from the ranger stations.
There are plenty of nice beaches nearby. The best is Playa Platanares. It’s a short drive from downtown Puerto Jimenez.
About an hour away from the town of Puerto Jimenez there is a waterfall called the King Louis waterfall that you can hike to.
