The Cahuita National Park has the largest system of coral reefs in Costa Rica, including 6 species of coral, a wide range of colorful tropical fishes and the occasional encounter of a harmless reef shark or stingray. This beach has a horseshoe shape, with the entrance of the park at one end and beautiful Punta Cahuita at the other end. We start with a scenic 20-minute boat ride to have two snorkeling sessions. Then we get dropped off at Punta Cahuita to enjoy a delicious fruit and snack break at the beach, followed by a 1-hour guided hike in this wonderful coastal forest. Monkeys, sloths, birds, poison dart frogs, iguanas and other interesting encounters are common.
