Located on the awe inspiring Pacific coast, Manuel Antonio can boast exotic, green rainforest lining the mountains above and beautiful beaches, which are some of the most beautiful on the entire Pacific coast, leading to the warm ocean. Nature lovers will not fail to appreciate one of Central America’s most beautiful national parks, with its amazing views and diversity of exotic plant and animal species. Here you will see numerous varieties of monkeys, sloths and tropical birds, as well as stunning wild orchids and countless more types of plants and flowers.
