As you walk towards the entrance there will be polite tour guides offering to take you on a trip with them, your choice, understand you will see more with a guide, we did not use one. Started at the Cahuita Entrance, plenty of parking on the left side of the road right before the entrance, free. Things to consider, you will have to cross 2 bodies of water with no bridges so at high tide expect to go through waste deep water, or do what we did and stay dry. At any point along the trails you can go for a swim along the white sand beach in most places. The park can be walked in sneakers and swim trunks if you want. If you have visited other parks in Costa Rica this one is a bargain.

They will take US dollars and the suggested donation is $5, don't be cheap and donate at least $10 each as this place is well maintained and plenty to see. Unlike the majority of the parks in Costa Rica, this park relies on donations. The person at both entrances spoke great English and answered any questions we had, don't forget to sign in. The trip to Cahuita National Park is well worth your time and money.
