PUERTO VIEJO, AN AFFORDABLE VACATION! (COSTA RICA)
Puerto Viejo is a much cheaper Caribbean vacation alternative than any place I visited in all of the Caribbean side of Mexico. I made videos from Cancun, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Akumal, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, Tulum and Mahahual which covered the whole Quintana Roo coast of Mexico and the Yucatan peninsula. I could not stay for as cheap in any of those locations compared to Puerto Viejo. I also traveled along the Oaxaca coast in Mexico and could not stay for as cheap there even in the famous place of Puerto Escondido and Huatulco. Puerto Viejo is a hidden paradise in my opinion.
The rest of Costa Rica had been expensive but the Carribean side was much cheaper than any place i visited in Costa Rica.
The guesthouse where I stayed was called Veronicas Place in Puerto Viejo. Also check skyscanner.com for cheap flights.

The Caribbean side of Costa Rica is like a different country. It is indeed like being on a Caribbean island. This is a great example of how diverse Costa Rica is. The Caribbean coast is completely different than the Pacific coast. The northern Caribbean (Tortuguero) is different than the southern Caribbean (Puerto Viejo on down to Panama). The northern Pacific and Nicoya peninsula is different than the southern Pacific. Then you have the central part of the country from north to south. Cloud forests, rainforests, etc. So many different biospheres. All within a country that is only slightly bigger than Denmark and slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia in the United States. It feels much bigger than it actually is. Because of the rugged terrain and the fact that the roads suck 😂.

The reason why there were so many people is because it was holy week (Easter) , holidays for Costaricans. Also, there are cheap places everywhere in the country you just need to search
