Monkeys, lizards, and birds among many other animals are present at all times in the beautiful rainforest. It also has two sunken ships to explore while snorkeling.
The Indian tribes of Bribrí and Cabécar were the original inhabitants of the Cahuita area. The Afro-Caribbean settler, a turtle fisherman named William Smith, came to the area in 1828. As the cultures combined, now the people who live in Cahuita has an interesting gastronomy, cooking with coconuts in the kitchen and playing reggae music on the radio, giving this town a decidedly Afro-Caribbean flavor.
