CAHUITA AND LIMON ~ COSTA RICAExperience 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.
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.
