TOWN AND NATIONAL PARK |
|
|
This small town is located at Cahuita Point and it borders
the National Park of the same name. It is a light-hearted and peaceful town,
with many restaurants and bars, where you can also dance to Caribbean music.
The main attraction of this town is the national park with its white sandy beach,
where tourists can linger. We also recommend Puerto Vargas in the same Park.
You will find the entrance on the outskirts of Cahuita on the main road, 4 kilometers
( 2.4 miles ) ahead on the left hand side. This place has a beautiful beach
for swimming and some picnic tables as well . This beach is located in front
of the rangers´ house in Puerto Vargas.
There is a very pleasant trail along the beach and near the
forest that takes you from Puerto Vargas to Cahuita ( 7 kilometers: 4.2 miles
). It has flat terrain and takes you to many secluded beaches for snorkeling
or to simply be alone. The vegetation of the park is extravagantly green and
frequently you can see sloths, monkeys, toucans, iguanas and other animals and
birds.
