No Experience Required

A predawn hush hangs over the trail as the Pacific pushes warm air inland and the guide checks binoculars for the day's first signal. Footsteps fall soft on packed soil while howler monkeys announce their presence and a three-toed sloth surveys the canopy with deliberate curiosity—the forest seems to lean in to watch you pass.

History

Established in 1972, Manuel Antonio was one of Costa Rica’s early protected areas aimed at conserving coastal rainforest and marine habitats.

Conservation

The park limits visitor numbers and enforces trail rules; stick to paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and pack out all trash to support conservation efforts.
