Manuel Antonio National Park

Manuel Antonio is the smallest national park in Costa Rica but also one of the more popular because of its beautiful white beaches, rocky headlands, and tropical rainforest. Among this varied landscape are typical Costa Rican animals such as sloths, agoutis, monkeys, and iguanas. It has a well-developed trail system for solo explorers, but knowledgeable local guides are also available at the park entrance. Picnic areas are situated along the coastal trails, and visitors can admire the views from clifftop lookouts. Friendly Quepos is the nearest town to the park and is also the sport-fishing centre in the region. Sailfish and marlin are the sought after deep-sea prizes. Apart from fishing, there are zip line tours of the jungle canopy, which are thrilling and fun, and there is even a surf school located in the park. There are also a few spas located on the outskirts for those who want some pampering after an active day in the jungle.
