Spider monkeys skip along the beach stealing sandwiches and laughing at you if you're not careful. The sounds of howler monkeys echo through the rainforest, a sound which can be frightening until you see them calmly sitting high in the canopy surveying all that is going on around them. You can walk for a few hours inside the rainforest without tiring, or you can take an alternative route along the endless sands of the idyllic beach, stopping to paddle, swim and also snorkel along the way. The coral is certainly lovely, although sadly, quite damaged. Evenings are fun in Cahuita.
Families stroll along the streets as the sun goes down.
Most likely there's a game of soccer going on somewhere. And there is always young men lounging around in doorways simply watching the world pass by. A couple of obvious places on the main street offer delicious seafood at reasonable prices. However, somewhat less noticeable is Miss Edith's. A visit here cannot be missed.
