I’m so happy that you got to Limon and Cahuita. We heard the same things about Limon, but when we arrived we new we had made the right decision. It’s like a country within a country.

[@TheYarbros]

Big facts! It's a whole different world....and we like it!

[@aspencierraphoto]

I'm so excited you guys went here. Everyone kept telling me this side of the country was dangerous which I felt was highkey racist, because why are the black parts of countries always considered "dangerous." Adding Limon to my Costa Rican travel bucket list!

[@TheYarbros]

It's distinctively different from the rest of CR... we can't wait to return to Puerto Viejo!

[@drhall6374]

I loved Costa Rica and especially the Limón area. Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Manzanillo...all of it! The food, 😋. Great experiences! Easy interactions with friendly local people, local bus rides to various towns, howler monkeys, black sand beach. It was more than a year between visits and as I walked along the beach in Manzanillo, a guy called out and waived, ran over, said he remembered me from the prior year and the rain forest tourist and welcomed me back. It warmed my heart. 💜

[@TheYarbros]

That connection to the people, the land and....the food lol is what it's all about!

[@stevekollen1672]

I've lived in CR since 1997 and I'm a CR citizen. I love love love Limon.

Great video! I stayed in Cahuita back in 2015 and loved it - howler monkeys, black sand beach, lively dancing and socializing at bars/restaurants, kind and friendly local citizens, delicious food, and walking distance to Parque Nacional Cahuita. I highly recommend a visit to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. (And as a single female traveler, I found it to be safe)

Thank you! We love, love, love that area for all the reasons you states. It's simply tranquil!

[@tomv4145]

i spent some time back in the 80s in that part of the country (I was in the Peace Corps). Really loved the area and the beaches. The pacific side is so overdeveloped now - good to see the Caribbean side still has some laid back charm. Look forward to upcoming videos.

[@TheYarbros]

Hoping it can stay the way it is....but ik change is inevitable. Thanks for tuning in!

There is a book called "What Happen" by Paula Palmer in which the author recorded some of the elders talking about the history of black people in that area. In fact I think some of the recordings are now in one of the national museums in San Jose.

[@marty88ish]

Thank you for the interesting background on a part of Costa Rica’s history I knew nothing about. I knew about Costa Rica’s indigenous and Spanish colonial history but did not know anything about Limon and the segregation that led to it being a predominately black province. Now I want to go back to Costa Rica to specifically visit Limon.

[@TheYarbros]

I hope you get the chance to visit again. It's been fascinating learning about the history and culture in Limon. Thank you for watching!

[@mariotrejos7236]

The segregation was not primarily due to color but to cultural differences like language and religion, the workers came under contract to work on the port and City construction and the lowlands section of the railroad, they were not tricked by the government but the ufco. Black presence in Costa Rica is centuries old as well as the cultural missunderstanding but taking about segregation is exagerated with todays lens. Its easier to find out how italians and cubans and later lebanese blended. Afrocaribean being more saw no interest in blend and were able to maintain churches and English schools for decades and in part that also explain why they mostly stay living in limón Province. Its fair to say the efforts from government to adapt and integrate the black community and limón are also decades old and the black leaders and organization were more succesful than others to do it

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

I've been to Limon several times and have a real connection to it. It really is more dangerous than the rest of Costa Rica. That being said, the culture and food there really are the best. As a Jamaican myself I was fascinated by how my people migrated there and brought the Jamaican flavor and added the Spanish mix there.

[@TheYarbros]

Yes to all of that. They....brought w/ them seeds for planting and their own way of life. Absolutely fascinating and by the government cutting them off their culture took root. It is more dangerous that's the other side of having to fend for yourself... People do what they believe they have to do.

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

@@TheYarbros crime often comes with lack of resources. Plus as you can imagine, that port is an attractive place for a certain kind of product smuggling. But not all areas are hot spots. BTW, while the history of limon is bad as it pertains to the govt, the country has come to celebrate and embrace black culture. Going to clubs in San Jose or anywhere in CR, they love the music and mix with the black people. I went to school in San Jose and worried the police would watch me but i passed them everyday and they never noticed the one black guy walking by. There was even a famous homeless black man who slept outside of the school downtown and people were so kind to him. Costa Rica every year celebrates día de los negros with pride. It's definitely not what I'm accustomed to in the states

[@TheYarbros]

@@DaneReidVoiceOver Yeah, we felt at peace...even celebrated throught CR...never knew about day of the black though....thanks I'll have to look that up!

[@johnfranco-arboine7851]

Jamaicans, Barbadians, Trinidanians, Grenadians, etc came to Costa Rica to work in the banana plantations and to build the Railroads to the Atlantic Ocean through thick jungles of Central America. Unlike the locals or the Chinese, they knew the British Imperial System (of measures, miles, feet, inches, etc) used to the build these Railroads and the Panama Canal. Jamaicans brought with them their own schools and education system to Costa Rica, Panama, and other places. Mathematics (Arithmetic) were taught from an early age in school and normally on Sundays after church service. Unfortunately, those the Jamaican schools were closed down by the Central American governments.
