Great oportunity not to miss Cahuita - This tour was an awesome opportunity to visit Cahuita National Park from San José, since we didn’t have enough time on our trip to stay on the Caribbean coast. It is indeed a long ride there and back, but it is definitely worth it. The kind attention of our guide, Charlton, and our driver, Nelson, along with the wonderful breakfast and the generous lunch, gave us everything we needed to fully enjoy this beautiful Caribbean park. The trail in the park is not long, but we were able to see snakes, white-faced monkeys, blue morphos, and a raccoon. Wonderful!
