Beach Trails At Cahuita National Park

OVERVIEW

Look for indigenous wildlife while walking through Cahuita National Park as a prelude to relaxing on one of its spectacularly scenic beaches. The park's lowland coastal rainforest and coral reefs just offshore are both protected ecosystems where flora and fauna flourish. As you meander along the trails, you may spot vociferous howler monkeys, slow-moving three-toed sloths, and colorful birds such as keel-billed toucans in the fruit-bearing trees. If the weather permits, enjoy a refreshing dip in the Caribbean waters before venturing into Cahuita Village to shop for local goods and continue to a demonstrative banana plantation to gain insight into the fascinating process of banana cultivation.
