We will explore the ongoing urban renovation, including the elegant pedestrian walkway connecting the iconic Vargas Park to the local market. 2. Cahuita National Park: Rainforest & Pristine Beaches Located just 60 minutes from the pier, Cahuita—named from the indigenous Kawe (mahogany) and Ta (point)—is a sanctuary established in 1970 to protect the country's most expansive coral reef. •Biodiversity: Home to 123 species of fish and a vibrant array of corals. •The Experience: Enjoy a 45-minute nature walk along a flat, shaded coastal trail. This effortless stroll is perfect for all ages, offering frequent sightings of sloths, monkeys, iguanas, toucans, and brilliant tropical frogs. 3.
