Cahuita National Park
The only coral reef on the Costa Rican Caribbean coastline is
found within this national park, and with 500 species of fish it
affords excellent opportunities for snorkelling. While the land
area of Cahuita National Park is small, it has stunning beaches and
is good for both land and water activities making it one of the
most visited parks on the Caribbean coast. A well-defined trail
runs through the coastal rainforest and howler monkeys and sloths
are among the wildlife attractions.
Information & Facts
Admission
A US$7 fee is required if entering the park from the
Puerto Vargas station. Entry at the Kelly Creek ranger station is
by donation.
Language
Spanish is the official language, but English is widely
spoken.
Money
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is divided into 100 céntimos and is
the official currency, although US Dollars are also widely
accepted. US Dollars and travellers cheques can be exchanged in
banks and many hotels. Banks charge a service fee for cashing
travellers cheques and currency other than US$ is difficult to
exchange. Using black market exchange options is risky as they have
been known to pass on counterfeit bills printed in Colombia. Banks
close anywhere from 3pm to 6pm. Major credit cards are widely
accepted, although American Express and Diners Club might be more
limited. ATMs are available in major towns throughout the country,
but it is advisable to always have some local cash handy.
