Manuel Antonio Holidays

Manuel Antonio National Park is worth going to see, and the hordes of tourists there, which can seem off-putting before arriving at the site, are fairly well managed.

What our travellers think of their stay

Manuel Antonio National Park is worth going to see, and the hordes of tourists there, which can seem off-putting before arriving at the site, are fairly well managed.

My suggestion

I strongly recommend taking a tour of this national park in the company of a guide or forest ranger.

The stunning Manuel Antonio National Park is found on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the Puntarenas district.

My suggestion

You'll usually be offered a guide at the entrance - it's a good way to help out the local economy. In certain areas, where it's harder to spot local wildlife (turtles for example), I think it's better to go on a guided tour of this 'little' park.
