CAHUITA AND LIMON ~ COSTA RICA


Experience harmony with nature in the middle of the Rain Forest and private beaches. 

 

  

 

The Goddess Garden and La Diosa are located along Costa Rica’s amazingly beautiful and exotic Caribbean Coast. Cahuita is a relaxing paradise some 43 km south of Puerto Limon. A stunning black sand beach town with warm calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, Cahuita sits just south of the Cahuita National Park. Among the most visited national parks in Costa Rica, the Parque Nacional Cahuita offers tourists not just great beaches, but a lush coastal rainforest and some fabulous coral reef to explore and discover.

A fantastic place to relax away, Cahuita’s popularity is rapidly increasing as its neighboring town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is fast becoming Costa Rica’s top party destination. Cahuita has plenty to offer in the way of spending some quiet tranquil time alone or with a loved one.

The beaches here are picture perfect with trails leading from here into a coastal forest nearby. Within walking distance of town, these beaches are an excellent place to chill out. For those who want to do some more touring, there is a well maintained butterfly garden nearby as well. The Mariposario de Cahuites is a great place to unwind amid brightly colored gorgeous butterflies.


For those who are interested in just spending their time at the beach, there is plenty to do out here. Snorkeling is at its best during the months of March to May and September to December. Best time to explore the spectacular underwater coral reef. A great place to go swimming is Playa Negra, which sits on the northwest end of Cahuita.

The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is different from the rest of the country. The inhabitants of the Caribbean are a mix of the original Indian culture with the African, Asian and Spanish culture resulting in a rich combination. 
 

Limon is a wild and beautiful region with pounding surf and prehistoric rainforests, Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast is a beach lover’s delight. Set apart from the rest of the country, this region of Costa Rica offers tourists some of the most gorgeous white sand coconut tree lined beaches that one has ever seen. Actually one of the country’s most geographically diverse regions with inland rainforests that stretch right up to the coastline, the Caribbean expanse of Costa Rica has beautiful swampy lagoons to the north and is bordered by the towering Talamanca Mountains to the south.

 

Running for some 125 miles between the borders of Panama and Nicaragua, the entire of Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast lies inside of Limon province. First discovered by Christopher Columbus who landed here in 1502, this province is one of the least traveled areas of the country. Almost always hot and humid throughout the year, this part of Costa Rica receives the highest amount of rainfall, with major downpours taking place between May and August and then in between December and January.

One of the lushest regions in Costa Rica, Limon offers tourists a plethora of activities to enjoy from some outstanding diving opportunities to awesome surf breaks, superb sportfishing and an excellent chance to get up close and personal with nature. Home to the Tortuguero National Park famous for its turtle nesting and the Cahuita National Park, Limon also home to the last remaining indigenous Indian tribes of Costa Rica namely the Bribri, Cocles and Talamanca Cabecarv communities.
