Welcome to our tours page of Costa Rica. You are about to set foot in one of the world’s most beautiful ecological gems. The land which Christopher Columbus named the “rich coast” is now seen as one of the safest and most progressive countries in South America. The only thing to be found in Costa Rica is the Pura Vida (literally “pure life”), an optimistic zest for life in all circumstances… The Costa Ricans (or Ticos for insiders) are constantly cheerful and welcoming to visitors! Costa Rica was also the first nation in the world to dissolve its army, a testament to their commitment to peace and prosperity above all else. It is regularly classed as one of the top countries for standards of living, and has a remarkable development model that prioritizes education, health care and protection of the environment. If you are a nature lover, you will find yourself in heaven… Costa Rica is a pioneering country in the field of ecotourism, and has an extremely rich biodiversity. Several unique species can be found in some of the country’s 33 national parks and reserves: no less than 25% of the Costa Rican territory is protected!

Cahuita is a very small town steeped in traditional authenticity and located by the sea, where the living is good ... very good in fact. It still remains unaffected by mass tourism, and it's also known as "the little Jamaica" of Costa Rica. I'll leave you to imagine the atmosphere for yourself. Here, life is lived to the rhythm of Afro-Caribbean music and the sounds of nature.Cahuita's beaches are splendid, and the national park of the same name is spectacular. There's something for all tastes here: waves for the surfers, sublime underwater sites for snorkeling enthusiasts, and places suitable for bathing. As for the flora and fauna, it's all exceptional; you're in Costa Rica don't forget: nature in all its glory, that's the country's creed!How about the food? If you like grilled fish, coconut rice and smoothies made with avocados, you'll be in your element!&nbsp;Cahuita is really a firm favorite of mine, and it's an ideal place if you are looking for a magnificent destination where you will be guaranteed plenty of opportunities to meet the local people.&nbsp;

Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to see the Cahuita National Park, which is recommended if you want to explore the sea bed with a snorkel. The way in to the park is easy and well sign posted from Cahuita village. I decided to stop in the village for the day and enjoy some local cuisine, not to mention a few cocktails to go with it. Unlike the rest of the country where you get endless variations on Gallo-Pinto and its various sauces, in Cahuita you'll find typically Caribbean dishes with delicious grilled chicken. And, unless you don't like the heat and it stops you feeling hungry, remember to leave room for dessert, a sort of pancake with bananas, strawberries and/or chocolate! If you've hired a 4x4 for your <a href="/costa-rica/">stay in Costa Rica</a> ﻿​﻿​﻿​then you can go a bit further up the beaches next to Cahuita and find places which are deserted and virtually untouched. So, you can enjoy a beach all to yourself - but watch out for the mosquitoes once night falls.﻿​

Cahuita is a typical village with all the colors and flavors of the Caribbean. The village is on the road to Puerto Viejo and is worth a look, although staying overnight is not really necessary.

After my hike in Cahuita National Park I stopped by and strolled down the sandy streets of this little village. There are lots of small restaurants or sodas (as they are called in Costa Rica) along the street - the ideal opportunity to try some Caribbean flavours.Despite all its charm Cahuita's only claim to tourist interest is its proximity to the National Park. If you are going to stay in the area it's better to go to Puerto Viejo, a few kilometers away.A few evenings each week Cahuita is THE place to go out. If you're with friends it's a great opportunity to get moving to that reggae sound and those Caribbean rhythms.

Cahuita is a small village in the province of Limon. It is bordered by the famous Cahuita National Park where you can see wild animals and go snorkelling. The beaches are very beautiful.
