Tucked between lush jungle and the sparkling Pacific, Manuel Antonio National Park is where Costa Rica’s wild heart meets laid-back beach paradise. You’ll feel it as soon as you arrive - the hum of howler monkeys in the trees, the rustle of sloths overhead, and the call of scarlet macaws streaking across the sky. It's nature in high definition.
Ever imagined hiking through emerald rainforest trails only to emerge onto a postcard-perfect beach? Here, that’s not a fantasy - it’s your daily routine. And while the park might be one of the smallest in Costa Rica, it packs a serious punch: hidden coves, dreamy snorkelling spots, and wildlife encounters so close you’ll swear you're in a documentary.
Whether you’re watching the sunset over Espadilla Beach or wandering the shaded trails of Cathedral Point, Manuel Antonio doesn’t just show you Costa Rica - it lets you feel it. Slower. Wilder. Unforgettable.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN MANUAL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK
Spot Wildlife with a Local Guide
A guide turns the forest into a live nature documentary. Spot tiny tree frogs, camouflaged iguanas, and elusive sloths you might otherwise walk right past.
Watch the Sunset from Playa Espadilla
Outside the park’s gates, this wide beach buzzes with surf and life. Come golden hour, it’s the place to be - sunset cocktails highly recommended.
The Rainmaker Conservation Project
Just outside Manuel Antonio, this quieter rainforest reserve offers hanging bridges, waterfalls, and trails less travelled.
