5. Cahuita National Park

For a relatively small country, Costa Rica boasts a surprising number of national parks—27, to be exact! The Goddess Garden is conveniently located near Cahuita National Park, which is arguably one of the country’s most unique, because it is one of only 2 parks that protects a span of coral reef.

Since the roughly 2,700 acres contains dense tropical rainforest, beach, marine habitat and mangrove forest, there is a myriad of ecosystems to explore. Visitors can hike the jungle and keep company with the many monkeys, sloths, lizards, and other exotic plants, animals and insects that call it home.

The pristine beaches of Cahuita National Park are perfect for sunbathing, and for swimming in the warm, calm waters of the Caribbean sea. Also, from March to July, these beaches are home to a large nesting site for leatherback turtles. To experience the hatching of a full bale of tiny sea turtles embarking on their journey to their vast marine home is nothing short of magical.

All of this, and there is still the reef to explore! The area boasts 600 acres of living coral and 500 species of marine life. Since the waters here are crystal-clear, snorkeling and scuba diving are sure to be rewarding.

The Goddess Garden and Cahuita promise all the best that Costa Rica has to offer, right in one convenient location.
