PLAN YOUR STAY
A 3-day South Caribbean itinerary from Cocles
A flexible three-day plan combining Playa Cocles, Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Punta Uva, Manzanillo and nature at Finca Chica.Reviewed and updated: 18 July 2026 · Finca Chica Lodge & Villas
Cocles is a practical base between Puerto Viejo and the beaches farther south. This itinerary avoids rushing and leaves time to enjoy your villa and the gardens.
Day 1 · Cocles and Finca Chica
Settle into your villa, explore the gardens slowly and ask about the guided property walk. Finish the day at Playa Cocles or Puerto Viejo.
Day 2 · Punta Uva and Manzanillo
Spend the day exploring beaches farther south. Check weather, surf and local opening hours before leaving, and never approach or feed wildlife.
Day 3 · Cahuita and Caribbean culture
Visit Cahuita National Park following SINAC's official guidance, then leave time for local food and culture on the way back.
