There are two national parks that really drew us to the Caribbean coast.  And back again now that school is over.  The first is Cahuita. This national park is rarely visited, Luckily for us, the manager at our hotel, Pierre from Montreal, loves to hike and photograph every day, and invites his guests to go along.  He is a learned naturalist and can spot animals at amazing distances, and more can tell the monkeys are coming this way, keep your cameras handy.

The white faced monkeys were so much fun to watch, you could be entertained by them all day long.  The colorful lizards, snakes and spiders all seem so exotic, next to the pounding surf only 50 feet away.  It was a great day, the kind of day where it takes you 4 hours to walk 3 km and you make new friends and great memories
