During the 11 days of the carnival of Puntarenas the town will be vibrating from Tropical rhythms. Visitors should book hotels in advance, because it will get crowded. Part of the events, like the election of the beauty queen, are transmitted on the national TV.

Blues Devils offer a revue of different blues styles, such as Chicago (Little Walter, Muddy Waters), the style of the great Texas guitar players such as Freddie King, Albert Collins and Stevie Ray Vaughan and the more swing-oriented style of the West Coast bands such as Rod Piazza, Wiliam Clarke and Little Charlie and the Nightcats.
