Cahuita National Park's Puerto Vargas entrance offers stunning beaches, a vibrant coral reef, and lush rainforest trails, making it a haven for nature lovers. The park is generally accessible, though some trails may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Exploring solo is feasible and rewarding, but guided tours enhance the experience by providing insights into the local flora, fauna, and reef ecosystem. The dry season (February to April and September to October) offers optimal conditions for hiking and snorkeling, while the rainy season (May to August and November to January) may bring heavier rainfall and rougher seas. Entrance fees are approximately $5-10 USD for foreigners. A typical visit lasts between 3-6 hours, allowing ample time for hiking, swimming, and wildlife spotting. Remember to bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and water, and be mindful of wildlife.
