The Magnetic Energy of Puerto Viejo

A Place That Calls You Home

Some places have an energy you can’t explain—a pull that goes beyond beautiful beaches and lush jungles. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica, is one of those rare destinations. Visitors don’t just come here; they feel drawn to it, as if something in the air, the land, or the ocean whispers, stay a little longer.

A Feeling That Stays With You

I first came to Puerto Viejo in 2021. The moment I stepped onto its sun-kissed shores, I felt something shift. The salty Caribbean breeze carried more than just the scent of the ocean—it carried a sense of belonging. As I wandered through the jungle-lined roads, listening to the rhythmic beats of reggae blending with the calls of howler monkeys, I knew this was no ordinary place.
I’ve spoken with many women who had the same experience. They came for a short visit, only to find themselves rearranging their lives to return. Some sold everything and moved to Puerto Viejo permanently. Why? Because this place isn’t just a destination—it’s a calling.

Is It Paranormal, or Just Pure Energy?

There’s something undeniably mystical about Puerto Viejo. Maybe it’s the perfect blend of jungle and sea, where nature feels alive in a way that goes beyond the ordinary. The land itself seems to radiate an ancient energy. Some believe it’s the deep indigenous roots of the Bribri people, whose traditions and connection to nature still shape the region. Others say it’s the ocean’s rhythm, a force so powerful it seems to sync with your own heartbeat.

Some visitors report feeling healthier and more energetic here. They sleep better, breathe deeper, and wake up with a sense of peace they haven’t felt in years. Could it be the clean air, the slower pace, or something more?

A Town That Moves at Its Own Rhythm

Life in Puerto Viejo flows differently. Time seems to stretch, not in a sluggish way, but in a way that lets you actually live in the moment. Mornings start with the sound of tropical birds and the scent of strong Costa Rican coffee. Days are spent biking to hidden beaches, swimming in crystal-clear waters, or exploring jungle trails where sunlight filters through towering trees. Evenings are for music, laughter, and long conversations under a star-filled sky.

And the people—oh, the people. Puerto Viejo is home to a unique mix of Afro-Caribbean culture, indigenous traditions, and free-spirited travelers who came for a week and stayed for a lifetime. Everyone has a story of how they ended up here, and no two are the same. But the common thread? They all felt something.

Will Puerto Viejo Call You Too?

If you ever visit Puerto Viejo, pay close attention. Not just to the sights—the turquoise waves, the emerald jungle, the golden sunsets—but to what you feel. You might sense the pull, that magnetic energy that has made so many people rethink their lives. Some places change you. This is one of them.
Would you stay? Or would you, like many others before you, come back again…and again?
