I spent the day in the Cahuita National Park. It’s right next to the beach so you can hear the sea all the time. It’s possible to follow the trail from Cahuita all the way round the peninsula to the next town – about 8 kms.
As soon as we entered the park we spotted howler monkeys in the trees. 
The park wasn’t too busy with tourists so we were lucky with our wildlife spotting! 
The anteater came right up close to us on the path.
Being so close to the sea, there were tonnes of crabs: bright blue and orange.
A guide had spotted a sloth, too. It was such a baby I don’t think we would have spotted it on our own.
When we got to the other end we took the bus back into Cahuita for lunch and then went to Playa Negra this afternoon. Huge waves and almost deserted!
