Entrance:The best entrance to the park is from Cahuita town where a voluntary admission fee goes to the locals!! At the Puerto Vargas entrance the admission charge is USD6.

Best swimming beach: A few hundred meters inside the park is either side of the Lazy River- Rio Perezoso. At Puerto Vargas at the southern end of the park is a beautiful white sand beach with good snorkeling.

CAHUITA NIGHTLIFE

The most popular barS in Cahuita are Coco's Bar with loud reggae and soca music and across the street, Ricky's Bar.

CAHUITA RESTAURANTS

Restaurant Edith- or Miss Edith's as it's commonly known- is one of the best restaurants on the Caribbean coast. It's always busy so you may have to wait, but it's worth it for Miss Edith's garlicky potatoes alone.

Caribbean Roots & Culture serves up great Caribbean cooking and vegetarian food.

Cha Cha Cha is probably the best seafood restaurant in Cahuita.
