Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Puerto Viejo and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Yes, Puerto Viejo is known for its cultural diversity. The town is a blend of indigenous Bribri culture, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and a significant expatriate community from around the world. This mix of cultures contributes to a vibrant and diverse local scene. In terms of acceptance, Puerto Viejo is generally considered to be a welcoming and tolerant community. The locals, known as Ticos, are known for their friendly and laid-back attitude. The town's multicultural background has fostered an environment where differences are not just accepted, but celebrated. However, like any place, individual experiences may vary," commented one expat who made the move to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
