Visiting Puntarenas, Costa Rica on our October Panama Canal cruise. On our last PC cruise, we called at Puerto Caldera and took a shore excursion to San Jose. No desire to do a shore excursion this time around. Is there anything to see/do in Puntarenas itself? Thanks!

No, unfortunately there's not much to do in Puntarenas. There's some shopping--lot of vendors set up near the water. We took the excursion to the Poas Volcano - couldn't see it because of clouds over the crater. The rest of the trip was scenic, though, once we came down out of the clouds.

Whatever you do, please consider booking a different ship's tour. We took the Coroboci River Rafting tour including lunch. It was a great way to spend the day and have a lot of fun. This is not white water rafting. Each rubber raft seats 6 and there is a guide on each raft. Paddling is minimum. Food for lunch was great.
