Puerto Viejo & Cahuita Escapes & Departure Guide
Along Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast, reggae-inflected beach villages sit beside Cahuita National Park’s living coral reef and coastal trails where sloths, white-faced capuchins, and eyelash vipers live steps from the sand.
Destinations Visited from Here: Cahuita National Park coral reef & coastal rainforest trail, Jaguar Rescue Center, and Bribrí cacao farms
Actual Boarding & Pickup Points: Cahuita snorkel-and-hike combos pick up directly at hotels in Puerto Viejo, Cocles, Punta Uva, and Cahuita town, boarding reef boats at Kelly Creek / Puerto Vargas.
Key Logistics Tip: The Caribbean coast peaks in sunshine during September and October—making Puerto Viejo and Cahuita the smartest ocean-and-reef escape when the Pacific side is in its green season.
