On Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, Cahuita is a soulful blend of Afro-Caribbean culture, wild nature, and laid-back charm that feels worlds away from the country’s more polished tourist hubs. This small seaside village invites you to slow down, breathe in the salty air, and let the rhythm of reggae guide your days. Cahuita is also a gateway to nearby gems like Puerto Viejo and the Sloth Sanctuary, but it holds its own with untamed beaches like Playa Negra and Playa Blanca, where you can swim, sunbathe, or simply watch the sunrise in peace. It’s not flashy, and that’s the point—Cahuita is for travelers who crave authenticity, nature, and a little soul with their sea breeze.
