Early shuttle from San Jose to the Caribbean coast town of Cahuita (actually very near Panama again) There is a great national park on the beach here, very clean, very beautiful with monkeys a sloths.

Arrived at 10:30 am, too early to check in, so a walk through the park,



then checked into Casa de las Flores, run by a high powered, little Italian woman, Roberta


The town is a Caribe surf town with also indigenous roots.

This is not the only speed bump in town
