Caribbean Coast
Afro-Caribbean Flavor
Set apart geographically and culturally from the rest of Costa Rica, the Caribbean coast
has a distinct Afro-Caribbean flavor all of its own. Taste it in the coconut rice, hear it the
local patois and live it in super-chill Cahuita.
Wildlife-Watching
The waterlogged coast along the Caribbean teems with sloths, three of Costa Rica's four
monkey species, crocodiles, caimans, poison-dart frogs, manatees, tucuxi dolphins and
over 375 species of bird.
