Excursion Cahuita through the eyes of a naturalist tour at Limón

Just 60 minutes away from Puerto Limon, you will be transported into a completely different world; the Southern Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is truly a wonderful place to visit with its laidback environs, spicy piquant food, and unique Afro-Caribbean culture.

Cahuita is one of the most beautiful and scenic regions of Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, offering some breathtaking white sandy beaches combined with endless coconut trees and a calm sea of crystal clear waters and coral reefs. Most of Cahuita's territory is formed by a swamp located in the depression that lies between the coral platform and the mainland. This combination of beach and tropical rainforest provides two excellent options, at only steps from each other.

The area is filled with exuberant wildlife including howler monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, raccoons, sloths, otters, coatis, agouti as well as several avian species also live in the swamp forest, like the green ibis, green kingfisher, yellow-crowned night-heron, frigate bird and the boat-billed heron, among others.

Your naturalist guide will lead you through the trails, specially designed to make an easier and interesting walk into the forest, sharing his vast knowledge about this fragile ecosystem.
