While Cahuita is right on your doorstep, we recommend taking advantage of the lodge's guided birdwatching tours on their property, which are fantastic for spotting toucans and vibrant hummingbirds. They can also arrange excellent chocolate farm tours nearby, offering a delicious taste of local culture.
