Have fun with the monkeys at Costa Rica’s number one visitor’s spot, Manuel Antonio National Park. This place really captures the tropical essence of the country in one go and it has been preserved as a national treasure for the past 35 years. With this tour, you can choose to take a peaceful walk or venture in an intense trekking hike, either way, there is going to be a special guide to help you observe the abundance of the wildlife of the place where you will be able to watch sloths and numerous species of monkeys travel through the tree canopy, and even if you’re lucky, you might be able to spot and observe one of many of the only 1,000 remaining squirrel monkeys (better known as Mono Titi) endangered species and several types of non-poisonous snakes resting in the tropical rain forest. If you’re passionate about wildlife, this unique jewel of nature is definitely worth discovering.
What to expect
Relax and enjoy the natural beach and rainforest
Manuel Antonio National Park is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Costa Rica. On this tour, you will visit pristine beaches, with coral reefs, bordered by exuberant vegetation and the natural wonders of the tropical rainforest. The beaches in Manuel Antonio are highly coveted as some of the best that Costa Rica has to offer.
On the way to Manuel Antonio National Park, you will travel along the coastline enjoying scenic views, including African palm plantations. You will also travel past small villages along the Pacific Coast until you reach the port of Quepos and ultimately the National Park.
Since access to the park itself is closed to vehicles, you will hike to the preserve, crossing a creek. Once in the park, you can simply relax and enjoy the beach, sunbathe, or hike through the park’s trails, which will allow you to observe Manuel Antonio’s abundant flora and fauna. Several species of monkeys, iguanas, birds and possibly even the three-toed sloth can be seen.
If you chose to hike the trail to Cathedral Point, do not forget your camera; the views of the park and the sea are simply spectacular!
