In trying to cut out some of our driving time and found a hotel for the night in the small town of
Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. It is a place we had never been. It is located in the rain forest just 20 miles south of the Nicaraguan border with access to the San Juan river and the Rio Sarapiqui.
We are staying at the Hotel El Bambu in the middle of town, which was the perfect location for what we needed.
