Costa Rica's Pacific coastal park where lush rainforest meets golden beaches, with sloths and monkeys close at hand.

📍 Destination Overview

Manuel Antonio, on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, is home to the country's smallest yet most popular national park. Dense rainforest reaches down to white-golden beaches, blending with blue water. Walking the trails you often meet sloths, capuchins, toucans and iguanas. With rainforest, beach and wildlife within reach, it is Costa Rica's classic meeting of forest and sea.
