What does Puntarenas, Costa Rica have to offer?

Not the Capital

Yes, Puntarenas isn’t the capital of Costa Rica; it is a cruise port where ships dock.

Pacific Side

This is located on the Pacific side of the country, and it started as a small port that exported Coffee. In 1840, this port was developed and set up as duty-free. However, if hard liquor and Cognac were being exported, there was a fee for those items.
