Limon Carnival Costa Rica

The port town of Limón celebrates the annual carnival on the 12th of October this year, centred around Día de la Raza (known as Colombus Day, and literally translated as Day of the Indigenous People).

Locals, tourists and jugglers in fancy dress pulsate to the beat of Caribbean and Latin music whilst weaving their way through the spectacular carnival floats, under a sky of fireworks.
Despite Limón usually being visited purely as a launching point for trips to Tortuguero in the north or the tranquil beaches in the south, carnival in this coastal town draws all the crowds.

This festival is a truly Caibbean affair with glamour, colourful costumes and exotic performers. If you are planning to visit Costa Rica in October, try and visit this festival if you can! For Costa Rica accommodation there are soem quality villas and apartments available.
