Punta Cahuita - all beaches

This place is absolutely stunning. When you turn left, you are greeted by the breathtaking view of the ocean, and when you turn right, you can hear the vibrant sounds of the forest. The only downside is that they close around 2:30 pm, which was a bit inconvenient for me as I was only halfway through. The next day, when I returned, I encountered a massive river with brownish water that I had to cross. It appeared quite deep, so I decided not to risk it and couldn't complete the trail. Additionally, there is a suggested donation of around $5, although it is not mandatory. Fortunately, one of the park rangers kindly pointed out the location of a sloth for me. On my way back, I unexpectedly stumbled upon the most adorable sloth without the assistance of a tour guide. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I had the opportunity to observe numerous animals, including raccoons, butterflies, monkeys, but the highlight was definitely the sloths!

This beach is one of my favorites! The black sand is incredibly soft, and unlike the nearby beaches, there are no corals in the water, making it easy to enter the sea. Additionally, it's not crowded with many people.

This beach is a true embodiment of nature. If you take a stroll along the magnificent jungle trail starting from the national park entrance all the way to the end, it is absolutely breathtaking. Numerous animals and enchanting sounds await you. The secluded and mysterious dark beach alone is worth taking a longer pause to fully appreciate its beauty.
