A village on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, Cahuita is hard to miss. Travelers visiting Cahuita definitely need to see Playa Negra, a famous black-sand beach in the city with strong waves and the BriBri nature reserve, where you can live and experience Cahuita like a local. Cahuita is also where you can paddle the Caribbean sea in a kayak (another thing you can tick off your bucket list!), or you can go snorkelling to see all the gems that the Caribbean Sea has to offer, often invisible to the naked eye. Those who favour a more laid-back vacation are welcome too - just lay on the beach and soak up the Costa Rica sun. Check out the best Airbnb vacation rentals you can rent in this area for a memorable trip!
