Manuel Antonio National Park is a small peninsula on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast and it is one of the country's most scenic and beautiful national parks as well as one of its most accessible, being explored by foreign and local visitors alike. The park's natural habitat consists of primary and secondary forest and is especially good for spotting monkeys and birds in between meandering trails that wander through forest canopies and alongside sandy beaches.
Of its most important fauna, you might discover raccoon, coatamundi, agouti, two-toed sloth, the white-faced and squirrel monkey. You can also enjoy the beauty of beaches like Espadilla Sur, Puerto Escondido and Manuel Antonio. Manuel Antonio offers some lovely properties either near the beach or in the hills overlooking the forest and coastline and a stay here combines a fusion of scenic mountain beauty and plenty of activities from hiking, rafting/kayaking, canopy tours, bird watching or sport fishing.
