Limon

Central America is the central geographic region of the Americas. It is variably defined either as being a region of the Americas in its own right or as the southern portion of North America. Physiographically, Central America is a tropical isthmus that connects North and South America. It includes 7 countries and many small offshore islands. Overall, the land is fertile and rugged, and dominated through its heart by a string of volcanic mountain ranges with a few active volcanos.

Limon is the capital city of the homonymous province of Costa Rica. It is that country's main Caribbean port, and has a population of around 105,000 including many neighboring small cities. The city and the province in general are home to most of Costa Rica's citizens of African descent.

Limon is famous in Costa Rica for its yearly fall festival. This festival draws tourists from across the country as well as from abroad, as well as a wide variety of merchants who sell everything from necklaces to doormats.

Limonis definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in Central America worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place leaves a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justifies the proud cultural tradition of Central America.
