Wildlife Immersion Exploration & Kayak Adventure

OVERVIEW

Discover the wonders within the Cahuita National Park by walking through the forest with a naturalist guide and see the natural world from a different perspective by kayaking. While meandering through the national park, the guide will point out and describe the tropical flora and fauna. You may spot sloths hanging upside down in trees such as banaks, squawking parrots and white-faced capuchin monkeys high in the branches, and neon-colored dart frogs clinging to the brush at ground level. The park has been protected for more than 50 years and its biodiversity is stunning. Iguanas, anteaters, toucans and egrets are common sights. Similarly, while kayaking from Uva, you can expect to see a variety of flora and fauna as you paddle past the photogenic sea cliffs and sea caves. If you head up the river that empties into the sea, the sights will be much like those in the national park.
