Additionally, it is located in the tropical forest.
Manuel Antonio National Park
Although Manuel Antonio National Park is Costa Rica's smallest national park, the diversity of wildlife in its 6.83 km2 (3 sq mi) is unequaled with 109 species of mammals and 184 species of birds. Both brown-throated three-toed sloth and Hoffmann's two-toed sloth are a major feature, as are three of Costa Rica's four monkey species — the mantled howler monkey, Central American squirrel monkey, and white-headed capuchin monkey. black spiny-tailed iguana, green iguana, common basilisk, white-nosed coati and many snake and bat species are also common in the park. Included in the 184 bird species are toucans, woodpeckers, potoos, motmots, tanagers, turkey vulture, parakeets andhawks. Dolphins can be observed there, as well as the occasional migrating whale.

Catamaran Cruise
As you navigate south, you will pass by islands and incredibly beautiful coastline. The hills of Manuel Antonio are covered with rainforest that extends all the way to the beaches and rock outcroppings. It truly is a magical sight, almost as though you are viewing a live Jurassic Park!
Along the way a guide will be on the lookout for dolphins, whales, birds and sea turtles. Dolphins can be observed nearly year round and frequently cruise along next to the boat. Whales from both hemispheres pass through at different times of the year, though the best time is in the heart of the rain season, September. Sea turtles can be seen year round with the best possibilities between May and November. Of course, you must keep in mind that in nature, nothing is on demand and this is not a wildlife observation tour.
Choose Your Adventure
The only problem about visiting lovely Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica is finding enough time in the day. There are so many activities that you’re either going to have to stay longer or come back for more! You might prefer a more relaxing, romantic time; an adrenaline packed adventure or a mixture of both. At Villas de la Selva, we’ll be happy to suggest the right adventure to suit your groove, time and budget. Here are some of the activities that are just a skippity-hop away from Villas de La Selva.
