Enjoy the Saturday market in the heart of Puerto Viejo

Early on Saturday morning Puerto Viejo awakens with the scent of fresh bread, brewed coffee and tropical fruit. The farmers market behind the Casa de la Cultura is more than just a place to shop – it is a lively meeting point for everyone looking for honest products and real contact with the local community.

At the stalls you will find a colourful mix of organic fruit and vegetables, handmade specialities such as tempeh, kombucha or kimchi, as well as regional cacao in its finest form. These are joined by lovingly crafted jewellery, natural cosmetics and creative artworks made from coconut and wood. If you are hungry, treat yourself to a traditional ‘Desayuno de Feria’ or vegan shakshuka made with fresh ingredients.

The market starts early and if you want the full choice it is best to come right at the beginning. Perfect as a relaxed start to the day – and a wonderful opportunity to get to know the people and flavours of Puerto Viejo in an authentic way.
