cahuita national park印象
-
We entered at the Playa Vargas gate and made the loop towards the Cahuita town main entrance -- the recommended direction as it can be hard to find transportation at the Vargas gate, and there are no stores or food places there either. It's about 8-9 km through forest and parallel to shoreline, with many points of beach access (and two knee-deep rivers). Saw many shore birds, a troupe of whiteface monkeys, the eyelash viper, morphos. A flat and mostly shaded path makes this a very enjoyable hike.

We were two families with middle school aged children. The park was a full day of fun for our family. We entered from the Cahuita side, which is prettier. We carried in a lunch, set up a spot on the beach, played in the water and hiked to the end of the point. We saw monkeys and two colorful Eyelash Pit Vipers curled up on a big green leaf. That was memorable.

Part of the park was closed for repairs but the part we did get to see was beautiful. They had benches with covering along the path for people to sit in and see the view and rest. We really enjoyed it.

We walked through the park twice. Once all the way through from the Puerto vargo entrance. This costs $5 and is a 3 hr walk. The second time we entered from Cahuita centre and waked part way then came back. You only pay a donation if you enter from this end. The trail is well marked. You do not need a guide but at $20 a go I think it is well worth getting one. They will spot the snakes and chameleons that you will walk right past! I speak from experience. The park was beautiful. Full of animals. We saw sloths, Coates, monkeys(2 kinds) raccoons and 2 huge iguanas. There were butterflies and birds. You can swim in designated places and the beaches are wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit.

Open 6 am to 5 pm. Donation (Kelly Creek entrance). 4.8 km trail (we walked to Puerto Vargas and back). We took most of the day and went for a swim as well (safe beaches have a green flag). Snorkeling only allowed with a guide. Very nice easy trail. Beautiful beaches. And lots of wildlife : capuchin monkeys (people are still feeding them and they can get aggressive, we saw one chasing a family down the trail), howler monkeys, 6 sloths (two were very close and moving, one was so close we could see the green algae on its fur !), an agouti, an oropendola, frigate birds with inflated red pouch (I was excited as I had not seen that before), several other birds, butterflies, a large brown basilisk lizard with impressive head and back crest, white and yellow eyelash pit vipers (they really do have “eyelashes”) and the very pretty blue crab.

I have just been there and its is amazing. Great spot to see caimans, Green iguanas, Sloths, racoons, coatis, snakes, frogs, tucanos, hurrons and other birds. I recommend you enter by Cauhita check point, and contract a local guide, otherwise you might miss all the action.
-
Spider monkeys all along the way, and I hear (but did not make it to end) there are capuchin monkeys at the end begging from tourists (do not feed them). The beach is just gorgeous and safe to swim here. It is full of birds. The entrance, close to town has places to buy food and gifts.

We hired One of the guides that was standing at the entrance of the park. We arrived at 8am and during the 1hour tour we saw more wildlife then in Manuel Antonio or La Selva. Some examples: snakes - eyelash viper and another, sloths, 2 types of monkeys, turtle, different birds, green iguana, etc

We parked our car in the main entrance on the Southern part of the park, we walked around 8KM through the park. We saw animals like beautiful butterflies, Howler Monkeys, white face Monkeys, sloths....the walk is really peaceful and you can stop at any time by the beach, wild, really impressive. Be careful if you want to swim as there are currents, always ask at the entrance to the guards for local knowledge.You will reach Punta Cahuita where you can swim safely as is secluded.It took us around 2/3h to the walk across the park but it depends on how many stops you do.I'd recommend to take water even a snack with you if you want to have some food on the beach.Mind your bags if Monkeys are around, they are used to take things from tourists.You will get out in Cahuita town, other side of the park. There are restaurants there if you want a refreshment, food....we walked to Restaurante Sobre Las Olas...amazing place.

This park is gorgeous !! Walk along the big sandy beaches or the forest pathway and switch it up throughout your walk ... mushrooms, big beautiful butterflies, monkeys, crabs, vines hanging from trees, bridges and I don't think I ran into any mosquito's !! Loved it would love to spend more time than just a day !!
