How did black people end up in Costa Rica?,
Were African slaves brought to Costa Rica?,
What is the history of Limon Costa Rica?,
Are Costa Ricans black?,
Why are so many Americans moving to Costa Rica?
Currently most of the Afro-Costa Rican population lives in small communities within the Caribbean Coast Province of Limon. In the City of Limón, where a third of the population is Afro-Costa Rican, the community has remained separate in barrios which are 90 per cent black.

Not just Costa Rica, but also Panama. A large percentage of blacks in Panama is also of Jamaican descent, even the music is derived from Jamaica.
Indigenous people
All natural energy, free education and no military. Pura Vida 🇨🇷
Si si si Que risa me das. You must be a tourist with the club sodas and sandals. Go live over there as you try to make a life for yourself. Go on come on and see if you keep talking like that once you have to survive like the rest of us peasants.
And don't forget: free healthcare! One of our dancers in the company was struck with a sprain and she went to hospital free of charge.
I am in NYC now. I am from Port Limon, it's nice to see you visit the town Marwa. I hope you are having a great time! Don't forget to try out the
Caribbean food up Black Star Line area Restaurants. Make sure you ask around. The best time to visit in Limon when you will see many
Blacks visit from the State and different parts of the world is during the month of August between the 20th and 31th. The celebration of black people day culture is 31st
called Negro's Day.👏👏 Don't forget to check the beach Playa Bonita😎
Black Star Line 🔥🔥🔥☹️
Black Star Line, was the name of Marcus Garvey's ship.
@@kenyattamufumbey.4785 it's the place of the Black star line headquarters .. Limon has a rich black history. I'm from there myself. Miss my home #Puravida!!
I am from Jamaica and never knew the connection between Costa Rica and Jamaica. Thank you for the knowledge and true history my Brother.
@Juan Eduardo Always one racist pale face Latino that doesn’t know much about history that his colonizing vampiric ancestors didn’t teach him. So called black people were on every island and land mass of Northern and Southern America, including the islands before any genetically recessive white person made it there.
There are many English speaking descendants of Jamaicans living on the Caribbean side of CR.
I find it odd that no Jamaican I know has ever heard of the supposed history… lol
@@user-gu6vf3je1d To be fair, most people don’t know much about history that isn’t taught in school and even a lot of that isn’t true.
@@ShaunPhillipslimitlessfx no. a people would know their own history.
they don’t need a Caucasian from an unknown land to tell them made up fiction. how the hell would they know… lol.
Costa Rica had slaves from 1502 until it was abolished in 1824. Then the Jamaicans came after 1824 to legally work.
So, blacks were for the most part always in Costa Rica from the very beginning (After the Natives of course).
So do know Fredrick, there is more than what you are saying. The blacks in Costa Rica are not all descendants from Jamaica.
I am Panamian half Costa Rican and i Love my 2 countries 🇨🇷🇵🇦
I like the history bro so clear watching live from Nairobi #afrosaml
In 2014 way before the pandemic, my husband and I took a cruise and one of the stops was Limón, Costa Rica. We enjoyed spending the day in Limón. We particularly enjoyed the river cruise. We learned so much about the wild life and plant life. As an African American I like bing in places with large numbers of dark skinned Africans.
you are afrcan if you were born and raised in africa if your family was born in america you are the aboriginal natives not the 2 dollar casino owners them straight haired albinos came via mexico city on ships in the 1850s america was called land if blacks the government wrote history to hide truth see tricksofthestrades channel for facts and evidence
As a dark Costa Rican, I just don't understand this blackness thing among African Americans. I keenly aware of my West African roots. For many of us, we consider ourselves as having courage in mutiny and having our freedoms in Central America. Our anscestors are not cowards. That said, I prefer being treated as a man, who happens to be dark. My melanin levels does not dictate my perception of thw world and how others treat me.
@@albertogutierrez8653 you’re not a real black costa rican I know that for sure they don’t speak like you and not with that profile pic you have
@@albertogutierrez8653i cannot speak for your experience in costa rica. But the blaxk experience is extremely different compared to other races in the united states. And it very much does affect how we are treated. There is nothing wrong with them saying they feel more comfortable around darker skinned people. It makes us feel like less of an outcast and like we are not being judged. Mostly white spaces in america have proven to be unsafe for many black. African Americans, along with many people of color are discriminated. There is nothing wromg with mentioning "blackness ". I often here the argument " why do americans make everything about race". Well goven our history, everything has been made about race from the begining and we cant escape that.
Real talk 6946 be blessed
Wow. After watching this video I would love to visit Costa Rica.
Marwa, one of the reasons the prices are high is because there are a lot of Westerners especially Americans and Canadians that retire there. So when you get such a huge influx of well to do people that generally pushes prices up to the detriment of locals as wages will never rise fast enough. Latin America like Africa has high income inequality so it appears to me that even though they may be inflows of foreign capital most of that goes into a few connected hands and business people. I agree with you that people seem to find happiness everyday in Latin America even with little resources. Something that the Western world could learn from.
Thanks to the YT Supremacist System aka Neoliberal Capitalism aka Western Colonial Civilization bka YTNESS. It must cease to exist so that the World can be balanced.
I'm from Limon and i am white with pale skin
@@ramsescastillo7766 OK. Whats your point though.
The reason why prices are so high is because are imporder goods, whit very high taxes. All the local goods are generally cheap, the imported are very expensive
@@giorgio05081975 Costa Rica, Panama, Thailand, Puerto Rico, and I suspect soon it will be El Salvador - are all being taken over by Greengoe$$$. It’s because of that Capitalist, Imperialist, Colonialist mindset that has infected society for the past 500 years.
Wow. It's been 15 years since I been to Puerto Limon and she looks just like I left her ❤️. I stayed in Barrio Roosevelt a.k.a Jamaica Town. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 The original neighbourhood the Jamaican workers settled in when they were building the railroad. It was great seeing some of the places I remember are still there. And trust Jamaican Patois is still alive and well in P.Limon. ✊🏼
Straight ☝🏿
Wow
It's limonese creole
Limon looks so beautiful, clean and peaceful, and not as large as San Jose but very inspiring with lots of hard working decent minded Black people as well as others..😊
it's not so safe, you need to be careful, but if you avoid walking at night in bad areas and avoid displaying luxury watches or something like that, you can go around pretty smoothly. Most of the crime is gang-drug related, only a small portion is assaults to people. But you need to be careful. I have been to barrio Roosvelt few times and never had problems. Try to make friends to local people.
@Juan Eduardo I bet probably the folks there have the atleast amount of opportunity because of their skin color too.
@Normalman50yet there is crime in the other parts of the country, right? Not saying it's not high, but sometimes it is exaggerated because of the color of the skin.
@Normalman50 sounds like you have a problem with that.
Limon has rich culture! Keep up the great content, Marwa! Salute 😎
Very interesting and educational. I learnt something regarding people who were brought to Costa Rica from Jamaica. That juice is very refreshing and the leaves from the tree is good for nerves. You boil the leaves.
Ben Kampala Uganda East Africa, thanks Maalwa for enlighting us about the world.maalwa in Uganda means alcohol
Marwa the racial composition of Limon has changed drastically in the last 30 years. The city and even the province of Limon was very very black at the beginning of the century. Then the influx of people from Guanacaste and Nicaragua has changed that. Many blacks have move out of the country looking for better opportunities in the US. So now Limon is mostly Latino with a few blacks. Jamaican English was widely spoken but now the young people can barely speak it. Lots of interracial marriages has changed the city also. As for crime is much worse in the capital San Jose. Limon just have a bad rap because of racist attitude of the majority who still thinks Limon is still a black town. .
Latino is not a race..blacks can be Latino as well…just sayin..
@@reekwillz1691 White people in the US usually laugh when a Latino claim to be white. In a way the word has become a race description to differentiate them from white people. As for blacks that live in Latin America there as just black Latin Americans. Latinos laugh when a black person define themselves as Latino. The police will remind you who you are.
Ghost city. I see no business running
@@chocon8818 There are whiter "latinos" than the whitest americans, you can laugh but in reality "latino" is not a race, this word was invented by the french a long time ago. People in central, south America and the Caribbean can be any color. The real latin people are the ones from Italy, it goes back to the time of the Roman Empire.
@@sergiosolano6773 The clue is in the WORD and it's meaning, Latin is a European language spoken in Italy and by the Pope through Catholicism hence the churches.
Thanks for sharing. The Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is magical. I was raised in Cahuita. You should visit the Cahuita National Park. I think you would like it! Bless✨
Thanks for sharing your videos with us, you are helping us to understand countries we haven't visited before.
By the way, this is an excellent video. We appreciate you taking us to Limon and focusing on the African diaspora in such an easygoing manner. One of the things that intrigues me about many Latin American/Caribbean video blogs is the general scarcity of traffic control signals - red lights and walk/don't walk signals - in comparison to places in North America. The ubiquitous traffic controls there contribute to road safety while also causing driver frustration and, on occasion, traffic violations. It would be fascinating to drive on road systems where traffic flow seems mostly unhindered by such technology as appears to be the case in Limon.
Do not use the word "discover" in referring to Europeans meeting other people. You can only discover people if you don't regard them as humans.
Right slavery is different thing lol
@@Madoobe87 I don't understand.
@@leonardbarrett3620 white people "discovering" was slavery and colonialism
@@Madoobe87 Got it
He used that term discover with a sign, now if you know what that gesture means you already understand he said "allegedly"
Bruh, much respect, I've seen you in Cuba, Panama, and now Costa Rica, Respect.
Yeeess sir 😊 It's very true , Latin America has a lot of cool vibes and that's why we are living in Latin America 😊 Interesting real streets video . Peace and love ❤️
Great work Marwa. I appreciate your content everywhere you go
Marwa it's calles Puerto Limón. Happy travels .
I am from Jamaica and I agree because I met someone from there and they act Jamaican. Same attitude clean and boasty
Hi I'm from Costa Rica I live in California I love your videos
I'm so impressed with how clean the whole country seems to be.
Good job Marwa. You are taking us to places we have not visited. 👏👏 . Ask them why many shops are still closed @ 10 am.
Marwa can you show us some of the museums in CostaRica if that’s possible.That’s a beautiful country
Thanks for bringing Costa Rica close to us. The world is large enough to explore!
love your channel. Compliments to the your camera lens very clear.tks
this is really dope, im def visiting here ✊🏾🔥
We rarely eat(drink) soups down here. But, well I understand now why you wanted a 🍲. Blessings 🙌
Always get in touch with the local College students to help you get around. Many are vloggers like you. Whenever I go anywhere I found local College students to take me around
Thks for sharing this with us wooow
What are the prices for the fruits, vegetables and other common items also gas prices.
Many of the locals there are of Jamaican descent
Viva Costa Rica. Desde Honduras.
Marwa When are you coming to Guatemala waiting for you
In the building watching from barbados
This is another place the late TL Osborn used to preach in & it’s good to see it’s streets. The place looks nice with well planned streets although they don’t seem to have street lights. But it looks like they respect pedestrians. Lovely video & thanks.
Marwa i realize that you don't need visa to go Nicaragua please go there and stay at least one week before you head back to Africa many TH-camrs Don't go there make history bro I'm following your footsteps I'm new blogger now just go there man
Bluefields Nicaragua is Amazing. I recommend it.
Jocotes if green, can be eaten with some salt because its a bit acid, similar to a raw tomato, if its red or yellow, it means it's sweet and can be eaten normally, it has a big seed in the middle, so you need to be extra careful, you wouldn't believe how many people have chocked and died because of that seed, it has the perfect size to get stuck in your throat.
Our descendants were ENSLAVED! Excellent video, you must checkout Part II ❤️🖤💚 🇨🇷
Limon is beautiful nice people we have a cheerful spirit that is why we are envied…do not fallow negative comments from ignorant people.
What a beautiful city! Thank you for showing us around.
limon costa rica wonderful vibes coastal city and wonderful walkable city
You should go to puerto Jimenez and dos brazos. My friends are black Americans who relocated to Costa Rica to live a more natural life. They host donation based retreats and make the bestttttt food ever! They are called the Holi haven
Can you tell me more about your friends hosting retreats. Or lead me in the right direction.
Locked in watching
Marwa, you need to know a little bit of history : most of the Atlantic side of the Central American countries ( Panama, Costa-Rica, Nicaragua, etc) are populated with descendants of workers brought by British invaders and colonizers (pirates) from Jamaica.
British... and Spanish and French and Dutch and Portuguese... Wait! What? There are people who don't know about this??? Omg. Wow.
Greatings from San José, I knew you in Limón in 2019, and we went with other people to a two bars... Greatings Marwa!
I'm glad you finally found a soup. 🍲
I always wondered if people walking pass him think he's insane talking to himself and don't see the camera he filming. I'd find it uncomfortable lol.
They use to see alot of blogger and TH-camr from everywhere. You can check on youtube is alot of videos in the Limon ,Puerto Viejo, Cahuita etc
@@Ty2Tito yea true
Very interesting, thank you for showing the nicer side of this city. I will admit I was one of the people who would never dare to roll my windows down let alone stop in Limon for any reason. But I do love the Carribean side of Costa Rica which is very underrated.
Greetings warma, you cannot imagine the amazing information and view of my beloved town, limon you are enlightened a lot of our people around the globe , especially Jamaicans and Africans who never believe me way back before internet. I really appreciate you not only for the good content you showing of limon but for arround the world. I hope my people from limon treats you good, my brother because I consider black people my people , anywhere I see them . May our ancestors , always protect you from evil doers. Take care.

Find one of the Jamaican who still speak the Jamaican dialect. Thanks you mi brother!
Impressive clean streets
I took an African Dance class in this awesome city while I was on tour with a ballet company. It was a phenomenal experience! We had our performance later and the hosts threw this big dinner for us afterwards. Coconut milk straight from the coconut and of course some amazing salads and beans n rice. People came in right off the street to join us; it was very free and open. One little boy came in for a plate of food and told our teacher he was ashamed to be so hungry. Our teacher told him, "ah, no shame! Come and eat!" That was the vibe there. The priorities were on connection with others.
That's my man right there. Mr. Marwa. Always representing around the contonint
I’ve visited CR 5 times. The town of Puerto Viejo is a great beach town and very Caribbean
That looks like a Julie Mango and the other fruit looks like a plum
I love Limon I can't wait to visit. Greeting s from Uganda
My home away from home. My family is from limon Jamaica town. My great grandparents were the first people from Jamaica to come to Costa Rica.
Hey brother, I see that you have been to Belize and now Costa Rican. Are you familiar with Bluefields Nicaragua? Look into it as it has a high population of African descendants.... I know that are always looking reuniting with your people's!
I'm Costa Rican. Mom is Spaniard descent; my dad is Afro-Caribbean from Jamaica making me a Mulatto. Pop's fam moved down to Costa Rica just like you explained. The railroads were getting built and the money was better than anything in Jamaica. Grandpa McIntosh parents moved down for work. Today, I'm extremely proud to have those hard-working roots. Costa Rica is a big mix of cultures and the Caribbean influences is strong. Thanks for the video.
Very nice video
I loved visiting Limon and can't wait to go back for a visit!
Great video.There is also a large African community in east coast of Honduras.
😡
Try Pollo Cyros Marwa. If you enjoy good chicken spot that all locals love
Also owned by Afro Caribbean
Big up Marwa!!!!!
👋 Hi Marwa. 🤗😎 Greetings and LOVE💚💙💛 to the People of COSTA RICA.💞😁👍💪👌🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Marwa when are you going to visit Jamaica 🇯🇲
The black chick who came into the fruit shop was waiting for you 😂 great content marwa
.....And she was waiting outside to offer him a ride on her scooter😄
There probably more crime in San Jose than it is in Puerto Limon . Wow that food looks so healthy and tasty..
I'm in San Jose now and seen some stuff lol
Cool little town. Soursop juice! My friend from Limon is a chef/reggae drummer/truck driver here in LA. Good fun loving ppl 🇨🇷
I am Indian 🇮🇳 I will visit Costa Rica 🇨🇷 can help me friends
I spent a few days there in 2010. The people were very hospitable and I never felt unsafe.
Bro you know more history of Costa Rica than me and I was born here 😅
In Limón they also speak "criollo limonense" (also know as patua and Mekatelyu) wich is a mix english similar to jamaican and a little of french. Very unique.
Thanks for showing my country as it is, no filters. Pura Vida 🇨🇷❤️
I am considering going to limón in August-unfortunately right before the festival! But can some please give me suggestions on where to eat/visit. I want to connect with my people there too! I also speak Spanish if that helps! Thanks in advance!
I love Limon I can't wait to visit
Would love to visit. The place is very quite clean
Here in Costa Rica we can call a black guy black and they don't get offended because there is no racism here,
King marwa
Safer than most places in the USA.
1 Timothy 2:8🤲🏿 ✡ 🕎
Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
Very well we went welcome welcome Limón Costa Rica
I love to visit Costa Rica. Since they are very friendly. ✌️❤️👍👍👍👍👌 From Nederland
There's a lot of black folks San José and in smaller Villages in the province. Did you Know that the current vicepresident is a black women?
I seen a black guy today in San Jose lol
Thank you, want to do some trade there we’re sending some wine to this port. Very helpful to learn something about the culture of Costa Rica - the food looks good:)
Oh bro sorry I didn't get to meet you man, I always said if you came this side I would like to link up, hope you enjoyed your visit.
I can see the steam coming from that tasty bowl of soup and it makes me hungry even though I just finished eating a Chicken kebab wrap..
He spent most of the video in seemingly aimlessly wandering around.
It's safe and beautiful ♡ Limon es hermoso
Can't wait to go. Just got here from Jamaica 🥰
Wow thank you for showing this part of Costa Rica and I admire that you speak Spanish with the locals in Spanish.
How did you learn to speak Spanish? I'm asking is I'm trying to learn but I just can't get it not understand the language. Thanks.
You have a good appetite !!! That is a sign of hard work .
Glad to see you are there, I have lots of family there, i NEED to visit again
Thank you for this
WOW 11:19 tourist price! $3 bucks for a drink, Costa Rica minimum wage is $3.37 in 2022. You can get that same soursoup in Walmart USA for $1.69
Yeah, very expensive here, but at least things are less processed
Walmart is cheap everywhere, even in Costa Rica.
Colon Panama 🇵🇦 has a lot of blacks also
I visited this chilled out place in Dec 2022. I think that there has been a blending of many African Caribbean people since they first arrived.
Certainly all to the African Costa Rican people I approached were very warm welcoming and spoke fluent English.
Lots of African American/ Caribbean history, around Marcus Garvey and his movement of freedom.
Definitely worth a visit if you're in this region.
