Port Limon, Costa Rica, Safety of Taxis?

[coco1963f]

We're going on a cruise and will dock at Port Limon, Costa Rica, we want to go to the Sloth Sanctuary on an extended visit not offered as an excursion and was told by the Sanctuary to take a taxi there & back. Some info I've been reading says it's not so safe, anyone have experience to help me? thanks:o

Have you considered contacting a private tour provider?

 

Costa Rica is famous for eco tours. You may want to also visit other places in addition to the Sloth Sanctuary.

Thank You, Yes I've been given a few emails & websites but due to the limited time on shore

I don't want to get left behind. lol

We have since been told they do have regulated taxis that are red, & negotiate price before leaving so we're still deceiding.
