Cahuita National Park & Puerto Viejo

Welcome to the "Rich Coast" as described by Admiral Christopher Columbus after arriving at the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in 1502. Even though Columbus was most likely referring to another type of wealth, the truth is that this area is one of the richest in the country, naturally and culturally speaking. Located at only 40 min. from Limón Port (pick-up point), Cahuita National Park is our first stop of the day. We will look for amazing wildlife such as sloths, monkeys, toucans and other beautiful animals during our easy hike on flat trails with the lush rainforest at our right and the turquoise Caribbean Sea at our left. Next, the lively yet laid-back town of Puerto Viejo awaits us. This Jamaica-like feeling town features some of the most astonishing beaches in Costa Rica from shiny volcanic black to champagne-colored sand. "Puerto" is also well known for having fantastic gastronomy, especially its traditional Caribbean food that I am sure will satisfy and surprise your tastebuds.
