      A gentle walk through the coastal jungle, sometimes along a path alongside the beach, sometimes moving inland a way. I saw many monkeys (a couple of species), iguanas, birds, snakes sloths, a squirrel, insects,and countless others. Easy trek, but you must ford a couple of streams, so shorts are good. And having taken off m y shoes to do so, I never bothered putting them back on. Also towards the end of the path, at Playa Vargas, beautiful beach. You can spend the time swimming on an almost deserted beach. But take the guide for at least part of the hike unless you are very experienced. You see a lot more, and learn a lot.

      Part of the park was closed for repairs but the part we did get to see was beautiful. They had benches with covering along the path for people to sit in and see the view and rest. We really enjoyed it.

      We took a bus from Cocles to the town of Cahuita. Walked into the park (small entrance fee) and took the trail all the way around the point back to the main road, where we caught the public bus back to Puerto Viejo. The walk was beautiful, the trail flat and easy. We were comfortable in sturdy walking sandals (Keen, Teva). Wouldn't recommend flip-flops, and you don't need hiking boots for this walk. Saw capuchin, spider, and howler monkeys along the way. Capuchin were a bit aggressive and right on the trail, so don't carry food or bottles too low. Also saw caiman, parrot, crabs. We were glad to have sandwiches to go from Bread & Chocolate restaurant in Puerto Viejo, stopping to picnic at the beautiful sand beach on the tip of the park peninsula. If you choose not to walk the whole trail, but go in and out from the town, there are restaurants in Cahuita, but you might miss the howlers and the pretty part of the walk along the beach on the other side of the peninsula. We did this on a less-than-perfect beach day, and it was just right for a great walk.

      We entered at the Playa Vargas gate and made the loop towards the Cahuita town main entrance -- the recommended direction as it can be hard to find transportation at the Vargas gate, and there are no stores or food places there either. It's about 8-9 km through forest and parallel to shoreline, with many points of beach access (and two knee-deep rivers). Saw many shore birds, a troupe of whiteface monkeys, the eyelash viper, morphos. A flat and mostly shaded path makes this a very enjoyable hike.

      We walked through the park twice. Once all the way through from the Puerto vargo entrance. This costs $5 and is a 3 hr walk. The second time we entered from Cahuita centre and waked part way then came back. You only pay a donation if you enter from this end. The trail is well marked. You do not need a guide but at $20 a go I think it is well worth getting one. They will spot the snakes and chameleons that you will walk right past! I speak from experience. The park was beautiful. Full of animals. We saw sloths, Coates, monkeys(2 kinds) raccoons and 2 huge iguanas. There were butterflies and birds. You can swim in designated places and the beaches are wonderful. I would highly recommend a visit.
