Cahuita National Park: Entry Points, Fees & Regulations

**image1:right***The Cahuita town park entrance is just over a footbridge at the end of the village's main street. It has bathroom facilities, changing rooms, and storage lockers. This is the best place to enter if you're just interested in spending the day on the beach and maybe taking a little hike in the bordering forest.

The main park entrance of this Costa Rica National Park 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. This Costa Rica National 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 birdsCahuita National Park is just a walk to gorgeous Caribbean beaches such as Playa Negra (Black Sand Beach) and Playa Grande, known for one of Costa Rica best surfing.

From Cahuita national park area, take a day trip to lively town of Puerto Viejo and Surf Costa Rica's famous Salsa Bravas! Visit the neighboring Caribbean Beaches such as Uva, Chiquita or Manzanillo Beach.
