Costa Rica on a Shoestring travel blog


Options to visit Cahuita National Park or go on a snorkeling trip in the Caribbean.

We set off by boat to navigate canals parallel to the ocean on a ride with spectacular wildlife viewing en route from Tortuguero to Moín. Continue south to Cahuita, a sleepy Caribbean town with attractive beaches and a great national park. Spend the day hiking the park's trails, snorkelling vibrant reefs, eating coconuts with the monkeys or simply relaxing in the sun. Wildlife is easily spotted in the park. The beauty of the beaches in Cahuita continues straight through the Cahuita National Park on the southern end of this small town. The nearby local reefs offer excellent snorkelling opportunities to those who wish to stray further out than the warm Caribbean shore. With a modest nightlife, this is deinitely a place to chill out!
