Workation in Puerto Viejo: the essentials
Puerto Viejo is a laid-back Caribbean base in Costa Rica that is strongest for people who want surf, nature, and a slower pace rather than a full city environment. It offers a distinct coastal feel, a small international community, and the kind of everyday rhythm that can make long stays feel restorative. Remote work is possible, but it depends more on choosing good accommodation and planning around a smaller infrastructure base than in a larger city. Puerto Viejo works best for people who value lifestyle, beach time, and a low-key atmosphere. If you want a tropical routine with less structure and more freedom, it can be a very rewarding base. It works best for remote workers who want a steady base, clear daily routines, and a place that supports long stays without much friction.
