Private Tour: Cahuita National Park Hike (Full Trail) & Indigenous Village

Cahuita National Park is considered as one of the most beautiful protected area´s in Costa Rica. It is also one of the oldest national parks of Costa Rica as it was founded in 1970 to protect the coral reef. Because of its white sand beaches, large number of coconut palms, turquoise sea and coral reef this is a spot you do not want to miss.

We will pick you up at your hotel and drive in a microbus to Cahuita National Park; it is located about 20 minutes from Puerto Viejo. The tour will start at the Kelly Creek ranger station, this is the entrance closest to Cahuita town. From here our professional naturalist tour guide will use his sharp senses to spot animals. You will meet some new friends along the road such as white faced monkeys, sloths, snakes, raccoons and numerous other different types of species that you will be able to observe and learn about. After about half way of the hike (around 2.5 km), we will reach Cahuita Point where we will have a little break to enjoy some refreshments and may have a swift dip into the ocean. From the Cahuita Point we are going to head on to the other park entrance, Puerto Vargas, from where we will continue the trip to the indigenous village of Watsi.

At the indigenous village you will have the opportunity to interact with some members of one of the largest indigenous tribes of Costa Rica. Here you will have some insights about the culture and customs of the Bribris and some of their history and traditions.

On the way back from the indigenous village the guide will stop by a waterfall where after a short hike you will find a magnificent place to relax or take a swim if you feel like it.
