Manuel Antonio is a great place to visit. I had an excellent guide that seemed to have a sixth sense at locating wildlife in the rain forest. The beach was gorgeous at sunset.
Thank you for posting this! Manuel Antonio is one of my favorite places in Costa Rica. My husband and I stayed at a resort right by the beach and the park.
Manuel Antoni is awesome but its not the only place with great beaches. You can go to Playa Ballena and Playa Uvita further to the south. I just got back from CR. We roamed around in a 4x4 with an HD camera and gots tons of video. I can't wait to go back.
I went there some years back, it is full of gay hotels!! I think gays are the majority of the tourist there!! it was kind of surprising for me, may be gays value more the beautiness of nature...
Yes it was, early in the 80's. But now, some of this gay hotels are changing in family oriented and hi class hotels. I think that any person -gay or not- have the capacity to value the beautiful landscape and nature of Manuel Antonio.
For sure! I was just pointing out that Manuel Antonio is well known like a gay destiny but yes definetively everybody should go there and appreciate the place and the nature it is wonderful! :)
I'm Costarican, you seem to be very ignorant, we respect people....You comments demonstrate that you are not an educated person...Manuel Antonio is still with lots of gay people...and what???? Are you a musulman???? jajajjaaj
I`m from costa rica and I never been in Manuel Antnio....=O I`m such an idiot i really have to go there"! is only 1 hour away from my house!!! jajajjaj -_______-!!!!
I visited Costa Rica in December and this was my favorite spot. Great rain forest and beach-and the sunset was spectacular. I also had an excellent guide who helped me find wildlife.
Muy hermoso Costa Rica!! Pero no entiendo porque aceptaron el pisco de Chile, embes del Peruano, si el de Peru es mas rico, hubieran hechon un research antes de acceptarlo. De todo modos me gusta Costa Rica.
que buenas fotos, me gusta todo se ve,de la forma que es (((BELLO)))buen trabnajo/i love this slideshow everything looks just the way it is , i live here
pura vida costa rica!!!!! i stayed there for two weeks and traveled around the whole country and i have to say it was probably the most fun and memorable experience ive ever had
i stayed in CR for a year, it was one of the most memorable experiences i have ever had. it helped me see that this world is so much more than what you see. CR makes you feel whats in your heart, and helps you get closer 2 nature, helps u understand differences, and helps u grow 2b a better person. I love CR.
Costa Rica is still the BEST country I have visited in my lifetime and I have been to many different places. This video is a great presentation of Costa Rica and how the lifestyle is there. PURA VIDA!!!
The first time I saw the sea in my life was in manuel antonio, by the age like 3 years old, ahhhhhhh like ten 10 time more I went to this wonderfull beach, I LOVE MY COUNTRY!!!!!! full of nature, monkeys,lizards and slots..................COSTA RICA, PURA VIDA!!!!!
I have been in hundred of places and CR still my favority!!!! Everyone who likes nature and beatifull places and great cuture have to go there and see it by their selfs. congratulations ticos!!!
I nearly drowned at the Manuel Antonio beach and almost got bitten by a neotropical rattlesnake at the forest right behind it but still... it was extremely beautiful and i hope to see it again someday! :)
My cousin also nearly drowned at Manuel Antonio there are serious undercurrents in certain spots. The forest is stunning. My family is still there and I miss them..Que VIVA TICICIA!!
You are so lucky, I was made there but born here but my heart is so tied to it there. We are decendants of 10 TICO presidents but we are the blacksheep side so we are middle class tico/americans.
I believe $8 is a reasonable enough price to actually PAY FOR IT INSTEAD OF LEAVING WITHOUT PAYING (gee, i hope u make more than $8/hour, u poor thing!), and I have no idea how u avoided paying taxes on food, since the tax is included in the price, hmmm. Now just think about this guy u ripped off at the hotel, I´m pretty sure he has to double the price at first, to make up for people that leave without paying.
Now, I agree with ur policy of dodging scams and rip-offs, I do it too, but NEVER avoid paying for OFFICIAL, STATE ISSUED fees and taxes, not only is this a crime... it is disrespectful to the Nation (MY NATION!). If u come to CR u need to play by the rules...
im a yankee.....came to your country with the same respect i brought into nicaragua and panama...the difference is in panama they learned from your mistake and dont want the development in exchange for money that braely helps a select amountof people as is....and in nicaragua, they actually will let the transaction fall in to customers favor instead of making them ask for their change three times
acknumbers: I was made in CR and born here my family is still there so I go and visit. They do the same thing to me as far as overcharging is concerened. We are of European German/Spanish desent (sp??). Not all ticos are short and dark we are tall and anglo looking so sometimes that can be a bitch cause we looks GRINGO!!! Sorry you had a bad experience but don't take it to heart...VIVA COSTA RICA la suiza de Centro America...
yeah....i see it from your angle....it sounds like your stuck between a rock and a hard place....i went with the a good attitude understanding im a guest....but once the majority of people play you like a sucker you hve to let them know
i understand not wanting to be second class citizens in your own country...and trying to retain your way of living....but i came there for the first time and was treated decent so long as someone might get paid...after a few exchanges with ticos i really saw how they see things...you see any traveler as big dollar signs who arent entitled to their money...
i never paid the fucked up 13% tax on a plate of pollo y oroz...i walked the beach into man uel antonio and saved my 7$..when a hotel owner who try to sell me a 17$ room and lie, telling me its unavailable and only after i walk away do they suddenly have a $8 dorm available..i stay...and then i leave without paying..
cabs from quepos to manuel antonia are 3-4 $? not for me..try a $1..or you can just sit there in your cab like an idiot making nothing... i love the kids who come up and demand cigarettes..i used to fuck with them on their manners and leave them hanging...then i saved a stale pack of marlboros i wiped my ass on as well....a few guys in manuel antonio were smoking those down
so in other words, be careful who you try to play as a sucker...it can come back to get you...respect recognizes respect...so fuck with the tourists all you want, but there is a small percent that aren't tourists but travelers just happening to stop in your country...learn to recognize them and give them their do's...
they open the park at 7:30 every morning so the rangers have time to go in the park and take the boa out from under his sleeping log and place it on a convenient tree near the foot path....same with the sloth you saw waiting for you outside the bathroom
Are you sure about that? Do you really think that? I spend hours in the park try to get a photo for my own work, and if you say so, I need to put in contact with the rangers to keep my work simple and easy.
Well, all have comments and this space is free. But don't forget... This park is like a "open zoo", so, don't waste time in visit another area if you want to be in contact with nature and take a sunbathing at the time.
Just a question, I am going to Costa Rica in June. I bought the tickets, but I still need to get a hotel. Can you please tell me where the best place to stay in Costa Rica is? I would like to see culture and nature of course. Thanks.
festuseboigbe,what you mean?i live in Manuel Antonio since the last 13 years,what is not true about it??i go to the beach every weekend i know how Manuel Antonio looks like
..they bring in the animals from the surrounding area for the tourists...while the animals are free to go where they want, they are brought into the area and their population is closely monitored...remember, this park is surrounded by water on 3 sides and an estuary on the fourth, serving as natural bariers to escape..
My Country have at least 25% of our territory dedicated to National Park and protected areas. Manuel Antonio is one of the oldest and most beautiful park. Ok, the space is limited but we try to preserve as good as we can.
Went to Quepos in March this year (town next to Park) GREAT food hotels are beautiful - no US Chains! spent 5 days and barely got to check it out. Park is incredible with best beaches. Drove from Quepos to Arenal. Great country, good roads and wonderful people! Go now before it gets crowded!
