With the establishment of the Manuel Antonio National Park in 1972, the people of Costa Rica decided to preserve,
for future generations, one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse areas in the world. Although it is the country's smallest national
park, the stunning beauty and diversity of wildlife in its 683 hectares is unequaled.
Manuel Antonio contains a charming combination of rain forest, beaches and coral reefs. This beaches are the most beautiful in the country,
lined with lush forest, and the snorkeling is excellent too. The forest is home for sloths, iguanas, the rare and adorable squirrel monkeys
and millions of colorful little crabs.
This national park is considered to be one of the most beautiful of the country.It is a combination of a
paradisiacal beach of crystalline waters with coral reefs, bordered by exuberant vegetation and the natural captivations of
the tropical humid forest.Its beaches are counted among the best of the country, where the snorkeling and the surf are very popular.
On the way to Manuel Antonio along the coastal line, you will enjoy nice views and will be crossing plantations of African palm and
picturesque villages along the Pacific coast, until you reach the port of Quepos and few minutes after the National Park.
At our arrival we will hike to the park, crossing a creek to access the park, since this park is closed to vehicles. Once at the park,
it is possible to simply enjoy the beach, take a sun bath, or a nature walk though the park’s trails, which will allow you to
observe the abundant flora and fauna of the park, especially several species of monkeys, iguanas, birds, and maybe, the three toe sloth.
One of the trails borders Cathedral Point from where the sight of the park and the sea is spectacular.
