After the parade in Limon, we headed about 45 minutes south to the sleepy beach town of Cauhita. We spent the night here and then got up at a reasonable hour the next morning to go into the Cauhita National Park.
The town was very laid back and very small. There were a few restaurants, a small grocery store, and a few souvenir places. And, that's about it!
The food on this side of the country has lots of Carribbean influence. Even the rice and beans are different - and super yummy with a coconut flavor!
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it definitely does not require seriousness...
This is the only park in Costa Rica that I know of that does not charge at least $10 to get in. They do gladly take donations though. The park is a 3.5 kilometer trail that runs parallel to the beach and ends at a point out on the coast. The walk was easy and beautiful and the weather was perfect with a really nice breeze.
After spending most of the day on the beach we enjoyed a yummy meal before making the 4 hour trip back to San Jose and back to reality.
