Blogs from Cahuita, Limón, Costa Rica, Central America Caribbean

Our first stop in Costa Rica was Puerto Viejo as our accommodation in Cahuita wasn't available until the following night. It was a good introduction to the Caribbean coast but, as expected, a bit too busy for us, especially on a Saturday night! We stayed at the url=https://www.booking.com/hotel/cr/cabinas-jacaranda.en-gb.html?aid=1769628&sid=9a578de347668f45368f9dd1a856b6cd&all_sr_blocks=109757311_351026458_2_0_0;checkin=2023-02-14;checkout=2023-02-15;dest_id=1097573;dest_type=hotel;dist=0;group_adults=2;group_children=0;hapos=1;highlighted_blocks=109757311_351026458_2_0_0;hpos=1;matching_block_id=109757311_351026458_2_0_0;no_rooms=1;req_adults=2;req_children=0;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;sr_order=popularity;sr_pri_blocks=109757311_351026458_2_0_0__4000;srepoch=1674745935;srpvid=267c6ae6a369003e;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmplCabinas Jacarandawhich was comfortable enough but we ... read more

Après "l'effort" le réconfort ! Nous avons décidé de s'accorder un peu de bon temps suite à notre premier travail, et de visiter le reste du Costa Rica. Direction Montezuma sur les côtes du Pacifique où l'on retrouve Maja, Sarah & Diana au bord d'un Ocean, qui dépasse toutes nos espérances en terme de température ! Nous ne perdons pas de temps et traversons par la suite le pays en direction cette fois-ci des Caraïbes, dans la ville la plus posey du monde : Cahuita ! Une ambiance Rastafaraï qui nous convient très bien. Nous dégustons nos premiers Seafoods, que nous pouvons qualifier de merveilleux... 1er pays --> DONE, direction le Panama sur la petite île de Bocas del Toro. Ile touristique certes, mais juste paradisiaque. On ne va pas se mentir, nous avons bien fait ... read more

Today, Claudette is taking a vacation from vacation. It is a do nothing day for her. For me, vacations are all about doing things. I do enough of nothing in my regular life, so today I am off to Cahuita National Park for a stroll through the jungle bordering the beach. It is not far to go, only a ten minute walk to the other end of town. It opens directly onto a beach. You can hire a guide to point out wildlife or do it on your own. The trail follows the coastline with spurs leading to small secluded beaches. At one point, the trail cuts across a peninsula to give the hiker a since of the real jungle. The signage gives fair warning at some of the beaches that rip tides are present. These ... read more

When daylight arrived, I could finally see our surroundings. Short, lawn grass high plants on an uneven ground with wide spaced shrubbery and tall trees. Other shrubs are strategically planted to obscure the view of the other cottages. Raised cement walkways, bordered by flowering bushes, converge on the reception booth where coffee and toast are served from 7-9. A good occasion to compare notes with other guests. I prepared my own breakfast while Clo was perfectly happy with the house offer. It was so nice to drink a large glass of ice cold milk again. As I have learned about Costa Rica, internet service is sketchy. It was advertised that WIFI was available throughout the property, in reality, the router only covered the area close to the entrance. Not far to walk but inconvenient. I must ... read more
