Puerto Jimenez Costa Rica Complete Visitors Guide

All the things we wish we had known before visiting

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. Within just a short drive out of the town, you can visit beautiful beaches with turquoise waters and lush jungles filled with wildlife.

Fun Things to Do in Puerto Jimenez Include....

You can take one day or multi-day hikes inside the park from the ranger stations.

Visit Corcovado National Park

There are plenty of nice beaches nearby. Our favorite is Playa Platanares. It’s a short drive from downtown Puerto Jimenez and you can just walk for miles there without seeing another person.

RELAX ON A BEAUTIFUL BEACH

About an hour away from the town of Puerto Jimenez there is a waterfall called the King Louis waterfall. The road to get here is not the best so you definitely need 4 wheel drive, but it is a fun free activity.
