This is the Cahuita National Park, in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
Much less developed than the Pacific side, the Caribbean coast is a place where there are few roads, and plenty of tropical jungle and banana trees. Here the population is also different from the rest of the country, with a predominantly black community living here since colonial times. There is sad history behind it, but it’s nice to see how reggae and rastamen rule around here.
The coast is beautiful. But I don’t think I react to it the same way anymore: I’m starting to be a bit too familiar with such natural beauty…
