Holidays to Costa Rica: Manuel Antonio, Quepos + Dominical + Uvita, Pacific
Situated on the central Pacific Coast, Manuel Antonio is the oldest and most visited national park on holidays to Costa Rica, as it is blessed with incredible wildlife diversity and has a stunning landscape of mountains and tropical humid rainforest.
Manuel Antonio National Park is home to an abundance of natural life - including two and three-toed sloths, howler and white-faced monkeys, iguanas and so much more. Birders can also enjoy spotting a huge variety of species. A day trip away is the cloud forest of San Gerado de Dota, where even more bird species can be found, including the brilliantly coloured but elusive resplendent quetzal.
Manuel Antonio also has lovely Pacific beaches with snorkelling, scuba diving, sea kayaking and deep sea fishing available. On land you can go hiking or mountain biking on well-marked trails.
Combine your ideas with our expertise and let us help you create a holiday of a lifetime. We offer a wide range of options at different price points, all of which can be tailor made to your needs.
