Manuel Antonio's main habitat is primary rainforest but you will also find secondary forest, mangrove swamps, marshes, littoral woodlands, lagoons and herbaceous swamps, homes to numerous species of plants and animals.

Regarded by many as one of the most beautiful national parks in the Americas, Manuel Antonio National Park is also the smallest in Costa Rica, but its plethora of trails and wildlife make it a firm favourite. One of the top tourist destinations due to its location and thriving diversity, this national park is perfect for those looking to encounter as much wildlife as possible or to trek through rainforest. Home to four monkey species, two sloth species, dozens of snakes and nearly 200 bird species, this small part of Costa Rica is one of the richest.

Groups should also allow time to enjoy the beautiful beaches and coral reefs.
