From Bocas del Toro in Panama it was only a short trip of no more than 4 hours with boat/taxi/bus/taxi/boarder crossing/bus 😊 to Cahuita.

Cahuita is a lovely little village on the Caribbean Cost of Costa Rica and has a really laid-back atmosphere. There are some Cabanas (Hotels) and basic style but really good restaurants around. The village is sourrounded by a national park, beaches and jungle which gives it a really nice and relaxed caribbean feeling that is not less supported by the relaxed and friendly people there as well.

The weather was not too nice as the wet season was showing one of his rainiest faces, but still okay for organising some things and sending some Emails and that stuff... And as I got really good coffee as well, I could not really complain anyway... 😊

On Saturday I was bit more lucky with the weather which allowed me to hang around a little bit in the national park and enjoy the beautiful palm fringed playa blanca.

Although a tiny village there is some kind of a nightlife in Cahuita. The one and only famous Coco's bar (and actually more or less the really only bar around) comes up with Reggae-Parties on Fridays and Live-Music on Saturdays. So it didn't get boring at all on my weekend trip in Cahuita 😊

On Sunday I went on to the Capital San Jose. There is not too much to see in the Capital, but it is still a good place to chill out a bit and meet some interesting people.

But more important: it is a good place to spontaneously book a flight and fly out to CUBA!!!

Greets!!!
