Enjoy the Saturday market in the heart of Puerto Viejo

Early on Saturday morning, Puerto Viejo awakens with the scent of freshly baked 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 anyone looking for honest products and real contact with the local community.

At the stalls you’ll 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. They are joined by lovingly crafted jewellery, natural cosmetics and creative artworks made from coconut and wood. If you’re hungry, treat yourself to a traditional Desayuno de Feria or vegan shakshuka made from fresh ingredients.

The market starts early, and if you want to enjoy the full range of products it’s 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.
