Manuel Antonio National Park is the quintessential Costa Rica wildlife experience that is not to be missed by animal lovers and those in search of beautiful tropical beaches with rainforest reaching the ocean. This has to be one of the best places in the world to see tropical wildlife, and you are likely to spot monkeys, sloths, and other rainforest dwellers like cute coatis in a natural setting as you meander along trails through the rainforest. Relax and have a picnic on the beach, but watch out for mischievous monkeys trying to steal your food! Manuel Antonio is a must-experience destination for families and couples who can select from numerous romantic eco-lodges and beachfront hotels with spectacular views.
