Tours and Excursions around Limon

Cahuita National Park is located just south of the seaside town of Cahuita, about 43 kilometers south of Limón, on the Caribbean coast in a region considered to be one of the most beautiful in Costa Rica. The white sand beaches within the park are fringed with endless coconut trees, a calm sea of transparent waters, and coral reefs which offer divers an underwater garden filled with marine life and various types of corals. The park is also home to raccoons, crabs (land and water), howler monkeys, kingfishers, night herons, white-nosed coatis, frogs, toads and snakes, which can be seen along the park’s trails, and a great variety of birds.
 

Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve belongs to the Kekoldi people who were once part of the Bribri indigenous tribe. The reserve, located at the base of the Talamanca Mountains, is known for migrating birds of prey, green iguana protection efforts, medicinal herb gardens and beautiful handmade crafts. Visitors are invited to hike the reserve, learn about medicinal herbs and their traditional uses, and tour the Iguana Farm where research work is ongoing to encourage reproduction and protect the fragile species.
 

Veragua Rainforest is a 1300-hectare (approximately 4000 acre) private park reserve. The park is a buffer zone for La Amistad International Park (Friendship International Park) which is shared by Costa Rica and Panama. The park features the largest indoor nocturnal frog exhibit in the world, butterfly garden, reptile vivarium, hummingbird garden, a fascinating tram ride through the rainforest canopy, spectacular walking trails through the primary rainforest and a magnificent waterfall, all surrounded by a breathtaking panoramic view of La Amistad International Park.
