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.
