Puerto Limon

Located on Costa Rica's Caribbean shores, Puerto Limon is one of the nations largest cities. Columbus stumbled upon the city in 1502, during his final voyage of discovery. Spanish explorers who followed, mistakenly declared this land to be the "rich coast"; however, little gold was found. Today, the city's riches come in the form of bananas, shipped from Limon to destinations around the world.
