Review:

Visitors to Limón Province will not want to miss Cahuita. The laidback village with its long Afro-Caribbean heritage is a must-do bohemian experience. Hippies both young and old have found their Shangri-La here. Travelers can enjoy lazing on the black sand beach of Playa Negra, or the white sand beach in Cahuita National Park. Separating the two is Costa Rica’s best coral reef, which is excellent for snorkeling and scuba diving. The food on the eastern coast is characterized by its savory spiciness with dishes like jerk chicken and curried goat. Seafood dishes are equally spicy. There are several guided tours available for both Cahuita National Park and offshore open water activities.
