Manuel Antonio Park
Wildlife, Rainforest & Beaches in One Unforgettable Adventure
One Incredible Park, One Unforgettable Adventure
Manuel Antonio is one of Costa Rica’s most famous national parks for a reason. Rainforest trails wind through incredible wildlife habitat before opening onto beautiful tropical beaches, giving you the chance to experience several sides of Costa Rica in one trip.
With a local guide, you’ll see far more than you ever would on your own. Sloths tucked high in the trees, monkeys moving through the canopy, colorful birds, reptiles, insects, medicinal plants, and countless small details are easy to miss unless you know exactly where to look. Moments like this are what make the park unforgettable. A mother sloth holding her baby may be right above you, almost perfectly hidden in the canopy, until an experienced guide points out what everyone else has walked past.What to Expect
Walk through lush rainforest trails at a comfortable pace while your guide helps you spot wildlife, explains the plants and ecosystems around you, and shares stories about the park and the region.
There is plenty of time to stop, look, learn, take photos, and enjoy the experience rather than rushing from one landmark to the next. Depending on the day and your plans, the adventure can also include time near some of the beautiful beaches that make Manuel Antonio so special.
What You May See
You never know exactly what the rainforest will reveal, and that’s part of the fun.

Why Go With Naturaleza Pura Vida
A great guide changes everything in Manuel Antonio.
The wildlife can be only a few feet away and still nearly invisible if you don’t know where to look. Naturaleza Pura Vida’s guides grew up learning the forests, plants, animals, and rhythms of this region from generations before them.
They know where to look, what you’re seeing, why it matters, and the stories behind it. The result is not just a walk through a national park — it’s a much deeper experience of Costa Rica.
Perfect For
Manuel Antonio is a great choice for:
Local Guide Advantage
A hidden sloth. A tiny frog under a leaf. A medicinal plant. A bird call overhead. A trail most visitors never notice.
That local knowledge turns a beautiful walk into something you’ll remember long after the trip is over.
