We arrived at
Puerto Caldera at Puntarenas Costa Rica about 8:00 am.
Puerto Caldera is the main freight port on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. After the Spanish colonization of the area, Puntarenas was the main export and import region, using boats to transport cargo form the shore to the ships. A port was subsequently built where the downtown city of Puntarenas is now located. In the 1960s, due to difficulty of access to the city, the present port was built with easier access and a deeper harbor.
We decided to
not take any offshore excursions. They
had a limited selection available, so we relaxed onboard instead.
