MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK

In the late 1960's the Costa Rican government made a decision to preserve these magnificent forests and coastline with their rich marine wildlife. Fortunately 560 hectares was finally established as a National Park in 1972. The adjacent islands are refuge for a great number of sea birds that -together with mainland birds- make up around 350 different species.

Manuel Antonio is one of Costa Rica's most famous National Parks. Following a professional nature interpreter along this moderate three-hour walk will open your eyes to the wonders of this tropical forest and its natural history. You can expect to see various species of monkeys, plus white nosed coati-mondis, sloths, agoutis, butterflies, iguanas and various birds. After the tour, we suggest that you spend some time enjoying the beautiful beaches within the park, so take along your bathing suit and beach towel and just catch a later hotel shuttle bus.
