Amenities

Manuel Antonio

With stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean the breezy road that leads from the town of Quepos over the hill to Manuel Antonio National park has attracted first-class restaurants, luxurious vacation rentals, elegant houses and hotels. The road descends until it reaches a series of half-moon, jungle-clad beaches that are located both inside the park and along the stretch of coastline by the park. These attractive beaches are popular amongst locals and tourists and offer possibilities for surfing and kayaking.

Despite being the smallest national park in Costa Rica, the 682 hectares of Manuel Antonio National Park contain an abundance of rare and exotic animals including sloth, agoutis, coatis, 200 species of birds, howler, capuchin and squirrel monkeys. Making their home amidst the almond trees, leafy rainforests, mangrove swamps and rocky outcrops of the park these animals are best spotted early in the morning.

A whole day can be quite easily spent exploring the numerous trails that cut through the humid tropical jungle of the park. However, in order to appreciate the full magnificence of the area, visitors should head up to Cathedral Point, a lookout affording incredible views over the islands of the park and the Pacific Ocean. Formerly an island, Cathedral Point is joined to the mainland via a tombolo formed over thousands of years.

Located 7km from Manuel Antonio National Park lays the town of Quepos. Previously used to export bananas, this small port town was once home to the Quepoa Indians - a sub-tribe of the Boruca, famed for their beauty and fighting skills. Now, despite looking slightly run-down, Quepos has some very fine restaurants, bars, shops, a flourishing sportsfishing industry, friendly inhabitants and a decent nightlife.
