The main Cahuita national park entrance is at the southern end of the park in Puerto Vargas. This is where you should come if you plan to camp at the park or if you don't feel up to hiking a couple of hours to reach the good snorkeling spots. The road to Puerto Vargas is approximately 5km (3 miles) south of Cahuita on the left.
 

Officially, admission is $6 per person per day and this is collected only at the Puerto Vargas entrance.

You can enter the park from the town of Cahuita with a voluntary contribution. The park is open from dawn to dusk for day visitors.
 

There is an extra $2 per person charge for camping. The 50 campsites at Puerto Vargas stretch along for several kilometers and are either right on or just a few steps from the beach. My favorite campsites are those farthest from the entrance. There are basic shower and bathroom facilities at a small ranger station, but these can be a bit far from some of the campsites.

Enjoy hiking throught the jungle or Snorkeling and bathing in the warm Caribbean ocean. The tropical rainforest is a great door to wildlife and birds. Cahuita National Park is just a walk to gorgeous Caribbean beaches such as Playa Negra (Black Sand Beach) and Playa Grande, know for it's great surfing.

Be sure to enjoy the Cahuita Events & Entertainment and Caribbean Festivals in the area.
