THE EXPERIENCE

Cahuita National Park is one of the most wildlife-dense stretches of protected jungle in all of Costa Rica, and most visitors walk right past the best of it without knowing what they missed.

With Alonso, you won't miss a thing. In 2.5 hours he covers either the Playa Blanca sector (1 to 1.5 km) or the Puerto Vargas sector (2 km), moving slowly and deliberately through the canopy, the undergrowth, and the forest floor. The Eyelash Pit Viper coiled motionless on a branch. The Two-toed Sloth hidden 20 meters above. The White-faced Capuchins watching you from the treetops. After 5+ years walking these trails, Alonso knows exactly where to look, and guests consistently say they would have missed 90% of what he found.

This is not a rushed hike. It's a slow, immersive walk through one of Central America's most important national parks, with every entrance ticket already included in your price. You just show up and start discovering.

TWO TRAIL OPTIONS

Playa Blanca sector, 1 to 1.5 km. The most popular route, combining dense jungle canopy with a stunning white-sand beach. Ideal for wildlife sightings close to the trail.

Puerto Vargas sector, 2 km. A quieter, deeper route through old-growth forest. Preferred when conditions favor sloth and monkey sightings farther from the main entrance.

Alonso chooses the best sector based on recent wildlife activity, so you always walk the route with the highest chance of extraordinary encounters.

WHY A GUIDE CHANGES EVERYTHING

🦥

You'll see what others walk past

Most visitors walk the same trails and see almost nothing. A sloth 20 meters up looks like a clump of leaves. An Eyelash Viper on a branch is invisible to the untrained eye. After 5+ years on these trails, Alonso spots them in seconds, and positions you for the perfect view and photograph.

Park entrance fees for both sectors are fully covered in your tour price. No queues, no extra costs, no surprises. You arrive, Alonso handles everything, and you walk straight into the jungle. That's it.
